Hello guys,
as from the title, my note 2 (XME) is semi-bricked.
I can't get into recovery, but download mode.
I tried to flash using different Odin versions, but none worked.
all of the versions report that NAND WRITE START Failed.
I have tried using other usb cables, computers, usb ports etc.
None worked.
what should I do?

I can now get into recovery but when I try to factory reset, it can't be formatted because
it cannot mount
Here are the messages:
E: failed to mount /cache (Block device required)
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0pl2
almost for sure SDS
Were you able to successfully flash a stock ROM in Odin? Did you try unchecking auto reboot and, after the successful flash, boot into stock recovery and try wiping?

I unticked the boxes you said, still the same result, NAND Write start failed. I think this note might be dead already...
Maybe try flashing with a pit file?

Hey guys,
Yesterday I noticed my My Note 8.0 looping on it's bootscreen. The screen was also flickering...
I haven't been able to reboot the device ever since... I have tried al the conventional ways...
First attempt was through stock recovery... it returned a fail error message when I tried to factory reset, wiping cache,... every option available gave some kind of error:
Code:
E: failed to mount /system (Invalid Argument)
can't mount /system (Invalid Argument)
E: failed to mount /data (Invalid Argument)
can't mount /data (Invalid Argument)
Device has always been rooted. I have done this soo many times so I am 100 % positively sure that I didn't do anything that would explicitly cause this kind of error. So I am sure that I didn't remove or alter any files in system or data directory.
But anyways... How can I fix this...
Device doesn't get recognized anymore by my computers...

You are rooted but no custom recovery? I take it you do not have nandroid to restore from? I have only had this tablet for a few days but imagine it being Samsung you can Odin back to factory stock if you don't have a backup or flash a stock image from stock recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2289441

I did have CWM Touch Recovery installed prior to the showing up of this error...
Device doesn't get recognized any more by any computer I own (different OSes, no success on neither one of them...)

I was trying to address your issue with it not booting properly. Have you gotten it to boot up? Did you have a backup to restore from in CWM?
As for recognizing on the PC, I'm sure you probably have the correct drivers installed already. I have had the same issue on my S4 and have not found a solution yet so have been using a cloud service or yanking the card out to transfer. Have not tried it with the Note yet.
**Edit....I might add that most will suggest checking the USB cable and trying different USB ports (to get on a different IRQ) but none of this has worked for me in the past. Might be worth trying at least to make sure.

I'm gonna bring it back to the shop and hopefully, if I put up a poker face if they ask me about rooting my device :angel:, they accept it and treat it with warranty
For some reason, I really don't know what I have being trying...my tablet miraculously is working again!

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.
We just moved from T-mobile to Verizon today and I was trying to factory reset my wife's SGH-T999. I went to factory reset through the settings menu and everything went as normal until it tried to reboot. At this time is went into recovery and is giving me the following errors:
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_log.txt
I was trying to reset the phone to give to a friend, and I doubt T-mobile will help at all being we just left them. So far I've tried using kies and also re-installing the 4.3 firmware via both sdcard and odin. The install/update completes, but the phone still will not load. Thanks for any help.
You may need to repartition during the odin flash. Flash as usual, but check repartition. Then click the PIT button and select the PIT file for your device.
PIT files can be found in a thread in the General section.

I just tried that out, odin gave it a pass, but it still stops at the Samsung screen...
Try factory resetting again now that youve done the repartition. If that doesn't help, try flashing cwm/twrp and then from there flash a stock rom.

Booting into recovery and running factory reset worked, thanks!
Awesome! Glad that helped!
Hi fellas,
I'm having problems with my S4 mini duos (GT-I9192).
I'm having a bootloop all the time and can't get it turned on, I tried going into recovery mode and tried to wipe/factory reset but it says:
#MANUAL MODE#
-- appling multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code: TTT
did not match sized '/system/csc/common/system/csc/others.xml (no data available)
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
Formatting /cache...
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache
Data wipe complete.
Tried to flash and official ROM from sammobile with odin v3.10.7 but still the same problem it bootloops all the time, tried also to flash TWRP but couldn't even flash it.
I would appreciate a little help.

I tried it, in odin it shows that passed but when I go into recovery boot it shows the original recovery and still the same result when I try to wipe/factory reset.
Have you flashed a different rom as well

Yeah maybe 4 or 5 roms from sammobile but still the same, someone says that the power switch is causing the bootloop but i'm sure that it isn't faulty, I have tried it with voltmeter and it is working properly. I can't even flash TWRP, Phliz or CWM.

If you haven't figured this out yet I'll throw in my 2 cents.
Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678420
I don't know exactly what heimdall is but odin should work just fine for this. Try a few different odin versions if you have to as it has changed a lot over the years since the release of this phone.
Also make sure to uncheck reboot from odin, unplug after reflash, pull battery, then manually go to recovery immediately after flashing. If you get anywhere besides the TWRP you have to flash again.
