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.

USA Tmobile Galaxy S3
Ok so i soft bricked my phone after i flashed a rom and a kernel at the same time. They had originally worked one by one(flashing and rebooting one at a time) but i was fliddling around and decided to go back and flash them both at once with one reboot....well now i get a black screen after the galaxy S3 logo....and it hangs.
I have acess to recovery
I can ODIN but since that happened no flashed kernels or roms have made a difference
(all connections and flashes are successful in ODIN)
I have reverted to stock recovery and can access ADB through ADB shell in the SDK BUT i dont have permission to push files or even see inside data folder.... <su> issues a Segmentation fault, and <adb root> root all it does is restarts the session, ID's the port says successful and then issues a device not found and reverts to adb shell access to phone without permissions....
(should i flash a factory PIT file or maybe fix the partition tables? i say this because i assume a segmentation fault is the result of that?)
and where do i find a factory USA Tmobile Galaxy S3 Pit file? i found all these international ones in another thread but that doesn't help
So I have a recovery file on my SD card, Is there a Clockwork Recovery installation that has the ability to flash recoverys from the external SD? (this new touch version lets me mount the external SD but it doesnt pull any files up its formatted FAT32, but do i need to create certain folder names for CWM to see it?)
so that's where im at, In a nutshell:
Cant push via adb because no root permission, i have a recovery on an external SD that CWM does mount but doesn't pull it up and none of the Roms, and kernels i flash through odin(albeit successful without a hitch) make a difference on my boot situation.
thanks for any input i have over 19 flashes on my counter, and 2.5 days of 8-10 hours researching various things ive no decided to ask the community for help....
So far i got ahold of the previous Clockwork before the touch came out but it doesnt have options for external and internal im still allowed to mount externalSD card but whats the for if you cannot ADB with clockwork nor install from exernal SD?
Thanks for your time guys

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!!!

it seem great problem ask from rom creater i thinck they can help you

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

ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747 CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECURE BOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 2
Need help with this. Ive tried Odin and Kies with no luck. Have searched 2 days for a solution. Can't get into recovery. Only download mode.
You have at least a 4.3 bootloader on your phone.
Do not flash any ROMs or files that attempt to change your bootloader until you determine the exact version of your phone. Flashing the wrong bootloader version may hard brick your phone.
Since you are familiar with Odin, you should try this:
Download the latest tar.md5 version of Philz Touch recovery from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/
Download the latest cm11 for the d2lte from here: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=d2lte. Save cm11 to an external SD card.
Download the Gapps from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps. Save the Gapps file to the external SD card. Place the SD card into the phone.
Boot the phone into download mode, uncheck everything in Odin except f.reset time. Connect the phone and flash Philz. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, wipe data, cache, system, and Dalvik. Flash CM11, flash Gapps, download Samsung Phone Info app from Play store, open app, look for the phone's bootloader and modem version.

You are the man! I'm back up and running. Thanks so much. Learned a lot today.
Hi I was wondering if someone could help me.
My dad's phone which is a S3 somehow soft bricked itself. It was on a stock rom before.
It turns on and then gets stuck on the Samsung Galaxy SIII screen.
I am able to boot into download mode as well as recovery.
I was able to flash a stock ODIN file UVUEMJC as well as the PIT file and everything went smoothly and it passed.
However, the same problem remains, it is still stuck on the Samsung Galaxy SIII screen when I boot it.
Also went into recovery and tried to wipe data, but it is unable to mount any partitions, e.g. can't mount cache, can't mount data, etc.
I was able to throw on TWRP and boot into that, and it gives me similar errors as the stock recovery. TWRP also says that my internal storage is 0 GB and I can't put any files onto the phone.
I am quite confused because if NAND was corrupted then I shouldn't I not be able to boot into recovery at all?
ADB is also working...can't push/pull anything though.
If someone could help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
So I flashed CWM cause I read on XDA someone said that formatting data through CWM works, now...it says there is no pit partition and there is a flash read failure whenever I try to flash a stock tar with odin w/ pit. Also tried flashing pit by itself, doesn't work.
Try installing cwm or twrp again, boot into recovery, mount sdcard0, connect to Windows machine, and try to format the partition using fat32.
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?
