I believe you have the same issue as I am, where the internal storage got corrupted by the overnight charging and I would love to really know what might have gone wrong. I'm still trying by all means to revive the device and should I succeed will let you know. By the look of things we need all the best of luck.
So I have searched and searched for a solution to this problem, all over xda, google, and other forum's, but have not found any situation that is like this one and thus no solution as of yet.
Specifics:
Sgh-T999
Was running 4.3 JB
Power button has been removed.
No root, custom rom, or recovery. All stock.
Ok so I've been trying to fix my friends s3 but to no avail. First off, he had to remove his power button a while back because of issues with it sticking and bootlooping. Now, to power on his phone he just plugs it in while holding the volume down and home buttons. Where he enters the download screen and just cancels, which then restarts the phone. Problem solved.
Latley his phone had been running real slow so I suggested he back everything up and do a factory reset to bring it back up to speed. So yesterday he did a soft reset through the settings menu after backing it up. After everything was finished his phone will now only power up to the fourth boot screen, the flashing blue samsung logo, and then gets stuck there, the logo continuing to flash all yge while. He left it that way all day long. I'd say atleast 10 hours. Nothing ever changed. Took out the battery, sim, and ext sd, let it sit for a while restarted it through download mode again but nothing changed.
Once he gave it to me I tried booting into recovery mode but it hasn't been possible without the power button. I tried holding the volume up and home keys while plugging in but it just keeps vibrating every few secs with nothing on the screem, which i'm assuming it just keeps rebooting. Even if I could get into recovery mode, I wouldn't be able to select any of the options without the power button.
I tried re installing the firmware through kies as well as emergency firmware recovery, to no avail. Same problem.
Also used odin to flash the stock firmware but no luck.
I'm going to try and flash a custom recovery and/or custom rom and root the device but that will be my last resort.
He wants to take it to the tmobile store before I do anything that could risk it any further. Which they will likely tell him Its dead or to leave it with them for a few weeks and charge him an arm and a leg. If they can't do anything, then I will flash a custom rom first and go from there.
Are there any safer methods, before I start flashing, that anyone can think of?
Will a custom recovery even possibly work without the power button?
I wonder if it could be something to do with the bootloader?
It doesn't seem hard bricked since I am still able to get into odin mode but I just dont know where to go from here. Also, I'm not sure if ADB is on since he just did a factory reset. It was on before he reset but after resetting would the ADB go back to default?
Also when plugging into computer MTP driver will not install and kies just continues to show that its connecting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I just joined the community and have learned a great deal about alot over a short period of time thanks to yall!
Thanks!!!!!
I don't think it's possible to work with without a power button. You can use a touch recovery to work around not having a power button, but the problem will be booting to it. Does it not boot into recovery when pressing the volume down button?
No pressing home and down byttons while plugging in puts it to the download caution screen. Then from there pressing volume down button restarts the phone like normal. Pressing up just enters download mode. I'm wondering now though if I press the up and home keys when it restarts if it'll boot In recovery like that. Since the restart would basically be like pushing the power button to start it right? That's why it boots into download mode when plugged in and down and home buttons pressed maybe? I'll try and see what happens.
My mistake, I actually meant volume up ?
No volume up and home while plugging in just keep vibrating every few seconds with nothing on the screen like its in a boot loop and when I let go the charging screen comes up. And no problem your wrong comment gave me an idea.
And the method I just thought of worked! Pushing up and home buttons as soon as system restarts from download caution page will put you into recovery mode! This is the what i'm getting at the bottom:
E: failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
Can't mount '/data'(invalid argument)
E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
E:Cant mount /data/log/recovery_log.txt
Can someone explain what the failed to mount message means at the bottom?
Now that i'm in I can't do anything but I guess next step would be to flash a custom touch recovery. Maybe Philz?
Is there anything I can do to address the failed to mount issue without flashing a touch recovery?
I think I've seen those errors before, but can't remember what fixed them. Try doing a search on this forum and see if you can find something. Flashing a custom recovery and rom may help, but can't say for sure. Not what your friend wants though
so of course t-mobile couldn't do anything. I flashed philz touch recovery. wiped cache and user data/factory reset. During factory reset it will not format anything but the cache. Keeps saying
Formatting /data....
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Formatting / cache...
Formatting / sd-ext...
E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Formatting /sdcard/ .android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/ .android_secure!
Skipping format...
Formatting /storage/sdcard1/.android_secure....
Data wipe complete.
Dalvik cache will not wipe either.
From their I located the PIT file for this device and re-partitioned with odin. Same problem.
Also tried cleaning to install new ROM which again would format everything except for /data and /scdard/. android_secure
Then flashed the stock 4.3 T999UVUENC2 ROM. No luck.
Now I'm right back to where I was before. Reflashed Philz touch recovery and here we are yet again.
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30386564#post30386564 [HOW-TO] Unbrick your soft bricked Galaxy S III (+ bootloader brick), which looks like what I need but I can't find VRALEC/VRALF boot chain files for my device. I really need help so anyone reading this please reply if you know anything pertaining to this situation. I'm running out of ideas. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
He's giving me permission to do whatever it takes to get his phone back up and running. Also I don't thing flashing a custom ROM is likely to work in this situation.
Hello guys, I have a problem.
I'll write what I did step by step. I have a Lt26i (4.1.2 JB) I have not changed my phone's features like upgrading version, installing rom etc. since I bought the device , Therefor I have not a lot knowledge, it is first time to do something about android. Anyway, I did root with KingoRoot. Root is completely done, there was no problem about that. After then, I unlocked the BootLoader. When I checked it , I saw "Bootloader unlock : yes." . There is no problem too. Then, I installed BusyBox to install ClockworkMod (CWM). I managed to install CWM with DoomLord's thread, with no problems. It was time to search a custom rom. I decided to install [ROM][JB .96][XS][LB/UL] Dark Honami v1 - Stock Based , I rebooted my device in CWM Recovery. First, on CWM screen I installed zip file which I had downloaded. I did not anything else. Then I selected "Reboot System Now". System was rebooted. My problem is here. There is a process box on black screen. "Android is upgrading" is written on it. I waited more than 1 hour, but my phone was not launched. I tried to turn off the phone with power button, it didn't work. I pressed volume up and power button and shutdown my device, waited a few seconds and try to turn on. That process box was displayed again , I waited sometime but it was not launched... I tried wiping cache and delvik but it didn't worked . I am not able to pass that screen , my device is not launched ... the process box is always processing.... I searched the forum but I couldn't find a solution. Please help me. Thanks.

You should have wiped the system and cache partition too. Also, did You follow the instructions given in the ROM post?

@Mirhawk Hello master, In Rom post, " reboot in cwm, install rom, reboot" is written. I did it and I did nothing else like wiping data, cache, delvik or format data , system etc. I tried wiping data after then. It didn't work. Then I wiped data, cache and delvik, and I installed the rom I downloaded. This time, My device is able to launch, I can see Sony's Terms of Use , I can press apply or deny. But there is a problem. In this screen I am recieving a error message. Keybord stopped, Contacts stopped. Xperia Home stopped. Whenever I pressed OK it appears again. Please help me.

Go to CWM, wipe system, data and cache partitions. Wiping data partition will wipe Your apps and its data. The flash the base of the ROM. Then follow instructions from ROM thread.

@Mirhawk , hey. I can't access CWM . Last night I tried wiping ,data , cache but it didn't work. Then I tried format system , format data, format cache in CWM screen. After then, I couldn't access CWM. When I tried to torn on my device, The sony logo appeared but thre was no action. It couldn't pass the sony screen. Normally, When I rebooted my phone, In "Sony text" screen, My Led was turned Blue and I pressed volume up or down then CWM opened. After I had format system, format data, format cache, I was not able to access CWM. I tried to connect it to PC, I pressed volumeDown and connected it to pc. I can connect it in flashmode and my led was turned green. But a few seconds later the phone tried turn on itself.. I tried 3 times, but each of 'em I faced the same situation. I left it for charging and went to bed. After I had gotten up , I noticed that my led was red. Red light means low on battery or have a serious system warning. It is impossible that My device has low battery because I left it for cahrging about 6 hours.. I tried to connect it to pc in flashmode but red light appeared.. A few minutes later Sony logo disappeared and The phone started to give not response. I tried carious key combination like volume up + power , volume down + power , volume up + down + power but I couldn't get any response. What should I do? Is there hope for my phone ?

Can You connect Your phone in fastboot mode? Then You could try flashing DoomKernel or the Carbon Kernel. DoomKernel has the CWM and Carbon Kernel has TWRP. The way Your phone is acting in fastboot mode, You probably don't have Fastboot and flashmode drivers. To install them, download the flashtool. Then after You install it,suppose in C drive, then go to "C:\Flashtool\drivers" and run Flashtool-drivers.exe from the folder. From the list then select fastboot, flashmode and all drivers with Xperia S written in it and install them. If You are on Windows 8, there is a different procedure to install them, google for it. Your phone currently has low battery, hence it just show the red LED. Try installing the drivers and then flashing either kernel via fastboot.
Hello,
Could anyone help me.
I have a Huawei Ascend P2; which a couple of days, when I restart it got stuck on logo screen "Huawei Ascend", and remains there.
I entered the recovery by pressing "Vol +, Vol-, On/Off" buttons, and I wiped both cash and data user (rest), but it did not solve the problem.
When I treid to apply update from SD card, I got an error "failed to mount mount E: /SDcard".
I also note that I cannot turn off the phone. If I pressed the On/Off butoon for long time, it switches off for a second and then reboot again and stuck on logo screen.
I do not know what do do !! Any Ideas how to solve the problem?!! Please help ?!!
Thanks in advanced.
