Hello,
my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini with bliss ROM stated to turn off spontaneously and sometimes it didn't start again (the Samsung logo appeared and then the phone went dead, it was impossible to enter recovery mode, download mode shut down itself immediately). After several tries, it booted normally. This happened again - and I found out it was a bad power button, which I replaced. Now it is possible to enter both recovery mode and download mode with no problems. However the main OS doesn't boot up. So I tried to do a full wipe in recovery mode and CWM recovery rebooted the phone, when it was trying to format /data partition. So I tried to flash stock firmware with ODIN. It also didn't boot up, but at least the stock recovery gave me a hint what is wrong. When I perform full wipe, I get error: "E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata"
I tried to flash the phone again, this time with a PIT file and let ODIN to reformat the partitions. However, no change. How can I fix it?
Try twrp

Today my N7100 suddenly rebooted without any warning and got stuck at initial Samsung boot logo (even sound gets into loop). I managed to enter recovery and tried to wipe cache partition. But every time I try to wipe anything or delete via twrp file manager - phone reboots
Should I try re-partitioning via Odin? What pit file do I use?

you can try to use Odin, but probably you have faulty eMMC, many similiar cases around the forums about rebooting and stuck on Samsung logo.
Probably PC won't recognise your phone and there will be nothing else to do, but to give it to service
Miracles happens! Re-partitioned and fully erased nand via Odin and managed to upload the rom! Have tried 3 time before it succeed (crashed few time on system and cache image writing). Everything seems fine so far. Won't upgrade the rom from the stock 4.1.2 for a while to keep phone working. I have the insane emmc chip by the way. Hope it won't fail again.
After leaving my Note 2 to rest for awhile, I started to use it again because my main phone does not work anymore. However, when I start, it booted, but just showed the Samsung Logo forever. Checked the battery and it was kind of bloated. Decided to purchase another battery (Original Battery from a Samsung store). I go back and the phone does not start. I decided to go into recovery and format the phone. Format both cache and data (factory reset). Now the phone boots but it's stuck in a boot loop (samsung logo glowing part). I tried to flash another rom but it doesnt work. Trying to flash CWM on my phone, but ODIN doesn't cooperate where when I press PDA it always hangs and the program must be forced closed. Right now in recovery as well, it's showing me: E:\failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
What can I do.
P.S. Yes, I ran as administrator for ODIN, changed compatibility settings, still not working.
try different version of Odin
This morning I found my phone stuck on the boot logo displaying the model number. Nothing I can do gets it to go past this screen (I can boot into TWRP recovery and Download mode). The following are things I have tried:
1. Boot into recovery and wipe Dalvik/Cache (Nothing changes)
2. Boot into recovery and Factory reset (Factory reset fails)
3. Boot into recovery and advanced wipe all partitions (Wipe fails, can't access /data/media)
4. Boot into recovery and format data (Seems to work asks for restart but nothing changes)
5. Boot into recovery and install clean CM Rom (Seems to succeed but still doesn't go past boot on restart)
5. Boot into download and attempt restore to stock using Samsung Kies (Fails when trying to flash stock to phone)
6. Boot into download and attempt to flash stock using Odin (Fails)
7. Boot into download and attempt to re-partition using .pit file and restore stock firmware (Fails when trying to re-partition)
Everything I've tried just seems to fail and the phone still doesn't go past the boot logo. I can still boot into recovery and download mode. Please help I'm at wits end.
Hi,
A few days ago my GT-N7100 started to behave weirdly. Phone was stuck in a boot loop. I tried to open recovery but it wasn't booting into recovery mode.
I flash TWRP recovery using Odin and found that the internal storage size was showing 0 MB. So I formatted the Internal storage and then repaired it using TWRP.
Then I tried to install a custom rom in it. After the installation was successful, i wiped cache and factory reset the phone but phone was still stuck in boot loop.
I turned on my phone in recovery and found out that it /data size was 0MB. So I installed a pit file using Odin to resize it. It was successful. Then I installed a Stock rom 4.4.2. Now the phone turns on and shuts down after a few moments.
I think there is not boot loader which can boot the OS (Just my understanding).
Please help.
Thanks,

I'm not sure if anyone can help me-a long time ago I stupidly formatted my G6 edge using TWRP. Now that obviously wiped everything. Well I need a backup phone and I can't get odin to flash the firmware no matter what I try. I have even tried to flash some files individually either through odin or adb sideload-including the firmware-to no avail.
What Rom Ver.
I have stock 7.0 but i did a nand wipe before i put it on and my custom boot screen is still there (alienware) its bugging on diagmon random reboots and vol up, home key, power to bootloader brings up a android says updating but doesnt then goes to a fail android then to Android Recovery apply from SD card =E:failed to stat /dev/block/sdb1
