Flashed a TouchWiz FW in CM ROM, device won't boot - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed the Nvertigo ROM on the T800 and stupidly installed the TouchWiz SkyHigh kernel from TWRP. Unfortunately the device won't power on after boot? So I went to the "Download mode". Trying to flash original fw with Odin so that I don't have a bricked device. Unfortunately Odin is stuck at "Setup Connection..." while trying to install the OFW. After waiting for a bit it in Odin, it says "All threads completed. (Succeed 0 / Failed 1)". I did not know what TW was, stupid me! Any ideas?
UPDATE 1: Somehow managed to access TWRP, however, can't do a factory reset, says "E: Unable to mount storage"
UPDATE 2: Ignored "E: Unable to mount storage" and just installed a ROM and worked out perfectly.

i dont know where to send post can u plz tell?

PLEASE Help! Stuck on Startup screen after Odin

Hello all
I was updating my gf phone from rooted UVALJ4 or UVALH2 (Cant remember now, but it was an old Firmware) to root66 T999_UVUENC2 via Odin 3.09 on my Win 7 pc but after the odin install (which passed) I rebooted the phone and I got stuck on the Samsung logo on the start up screen. After about 10 mins I pulled the battery and tried to enter the Recovery mode, but nothing appears. Just a black screen.
So i Odin flashed the TWRP 2.6.3.1 to try to get to a recovery, but that didnt work. Still no Recovery.
I then used odin to flash the stock tmobile UVUENC2 4.3 firmware and it still gets stuck on the Samsung screen.
Next I tried to unbrick it via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367 using "SGH-T999 4.3 only Debrick Image" and reflashed the stock 4.3 rom, but that didnt work. :crying:
What can I try next? WHat should I do? I can still access download mode, thats about it.
Please help if you can.
Thx
I dont know how but I got the stock recovery to finally appear and now I get these errors (see Pic) what do these mean?
The recovery errors read: E:failed to mount /data ( Invalid argument) can't mount "/data" (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /data/log/recovery_log.txt
again thx

Never Mind Used Unified Android Toolkit to fix recovery and flash stock rom.
Thank god for that toolkit.
...time to donate
:victory:
Mod Please delete Thread.
Thx
In the future, try a factory reset, almost all boot hangs are solved with this. Happens because of incompatible data between versions, which would make sense condidering the jump you made. Kind of makes sense with the error message too, but I'm not 100% certain there.
Be careful with the toolkit. There is no support for it and it has bricked phones in the past.

I would say you send it for service. You do not have much else to do, is a serious software failure

Rogers - Device memory damaged

I have searched through the forum but haven't found any answer. I got this message on my phone 2 days ago,
"Device memory damaged, reset your device". I have tried to reset using the button provided but nothing happens. Have tried to Odin the factory ROM but it fails with "Write operation failed". Have also tried to flash CWM recovery and Philz recovery and they both flash fine but I have the same message when I boot.
Have tried to boot to CWM menu and tried to format/wipe/reset but to no avial. I get error saying can't mount /cache, an't read /cache.
Have not been able to find a Rogers pit file to repartition using Odin. All the files supplied are for SGH-I747 or i9300, I need one for SGH-I747M. Any body has one?
Any way to bring the phone back?
Does Odin flash any part of the stock rom? Which part fails to be written?

Bootloop after OTA Update

I have an ASUS ZenFone 2 (550 model), and I got a Push Notification about an OS Update, so I went ahead and installed it. After the phone installed the Update and rebooted, I got in a Bootloop. I can get into the Bootloader, the Stock Recovery, and the Temporary ClockworkMod Recovery mentioned here:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/root-newbie-root-instructions-zenfone-2-t3114063
ADB also works, thankfully.
My phone is rooted, and I'd like to unlock my Bootloader, and install CyanogenMod, after I get out of this Bootloop.
Could someone please help?
EDIT:
Silly me, I forgot to mention the problems I actually had while trying t solve the bootloop.
So,
Problem #1: If I try to flash Firmware, the stock Recovery stops at 25% (It continues going until 50% in ADB), and then i get this error:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature vertification failed"
Problem #2: CWM cannot use my MicroSD. If I go to "Install zip from sd card", it doesn't show the actual SD card, jus three empty folders. I tried to mount "ext-sd" in the mounting options, but it fails to mount. (My MicroSD is 32GBs and formatted in Fat32, so it should work. :/ )

Can't access recovery and bootloader

Hi,
I have Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (serrano3gxx). I was using this ROM and CWM recovery. I really don't know how it happened. My phone shut down and when I booted it, I saw this message "Encryption Unsuccessful", so I was not able to access my storage. Then, I've searched how to fix this. I tried to backup storage in recovery and I got this error every time "Can't mount /system, /cache, /data", even while trying to mount them manually. After a few try (flashing etc.), I've become to not access ROM (also bootloader) and CWM recovery. When I tried to access them, I only got "Black screen" and nothing appeared on screen. Then, I could access "Download Mode". At this point, I've tried to flash another ROMs (including stock ROM) and recoveries via Odin. Firstly, Odin detected my phone but ADB not. Secondly, when I tried to flash something that I mentioned, Odin's log screen stuck on "Initialization" step. I've waited 1 hour only for flashing recovery... Nothing flashed and still stuck same step...
Now, actual situation is that I can't access even Download Mode! Before this, phone was shaking when I plugged it to charger or USB port and tried to power it on. Now, this is also changed, it is not shaking...
Guys, I am saying "wth is it" now. These occurred step by step:
1. Shut down and message "Encryption failed/unsuccessful".
2. Can't mount /system /cache /data.
3. Can't access both of ROM (bootloader) and recovery // Black screen
4. Can't access Download Mode.
Note that, all of required drivers installed, even Kies. By the way, Kies detected my phone but it could not complete loading to recognize.
I've found this article but I don't know if it is solution.
I guess phone's storage is corrupted.
So, my phone's storage is fried? What should I do? Thanks for helps I will get.
Try flashing the complete stock rom not just the recovery. Or find a fix and flash it!!
Maybe you should get a pit file and flash that. Reanimated a S3 mini with that.

As I wrote, I can't access/reach recovery and download mode. How can I do that if you know it? I am still searching how to fix this but it is hopeless case I guess. "getting a pit file" is ok. I found it for a few roms including stock rom. But how can I flash it? I could not find this.
