After attempting to flash a stock MD5 via odin on a rooted P600, I am no longer able to boot. I am also unable to get to the "downloading" screen. I am only taken to a black screen. I am able to access recovery only. Thoughts, suggestions, new Frisbee?
Looking back, I believe the error was flashing only bootloader (thus why its not working) with the update file. Attempting to flash anything via adb sideload or from an internal SD yield errors. I have read about some other devices being able to load a bootloader via SD but I am unsure if that is possible here. If I can get into download mode, I am sure the device could be recovered.

I attempted to force my phone to update to 4.1 as it was stuck at 4.01 which irritated me endlessly.
I now am stuck, I can get to the fast boot menu or I can get to the clockworkmod recovery menu. the phone auto boots to the clockwork menu
I followed this guide to get where I am
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28178320&postcount=2
When I try to install zip from sdcard in clockwork recovery The boot loader installs fine (cwm-bootloader-lc03.zip) and the radio installs fine (cwm-radio-i9250-xxlfl.zip) but my image jb-takju.zip fails half way with a bad image error.
I belive that I need to put a new image on my phone but without a physical sd card I need a way to push files to the phone.
I have tried adb but it can not see my phone, even though it still shows up in windows device manager as samsung adb device.
so ether I do not know how to use adb (adb push \path\recovery.img \sdcard\recovery,img = error:device not found) or it does not work.
Is there another way to get files on the phone?
as a side note I am currently downloading the factory image for 4.04 and hope to find a way to reflash the phone with that

I will take any help I can get, thanks
fixed it
I fixed it by restoring the factory image, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366806 this link used a program fast-boot that let me write the 4.04 image
Hello. I have a i317 Note 2, running on T-mobile. It is rooted and was running Blisspop 5.x rom. I had set my phone down and noticed it was on the Samsung screen. Figured it was just a random reboot; but it never booted up. I reboot into recovery (TWRP) to find that there is no OS installed. It says my internal storage is 0mb, my external storage is 0mb (I have a 32gb sd card). I cannot mount nor access external storage, or anything internal. I cannot format data. I am able to see my phone while it is in recovery on my computer. But once I put it in download mode, it can no longer be seen. ADB cannot see it in download mode, I cannot fastboot (unless I'm doing it wrong). I used Odin, which can see it in download mode, but it did not fix anything. Also, now the phone says it is unable to format to remove encryption.
Prior to this it had a problem where it would be unable to stat things. Is there any way to fix this? Or am I SOL?

You used Odin for what? Did you try flashing stock rom? Try using the rescue option in KIES. It has saved me in the past when I had messed up my device.

Sorry about that, forgot that bit! I used odin to flash the stock rom, and even tried a .pit repartition. Kies does not see the phone. At most, it sees it but will not connect. So there are no rescue options to be had.
I thought I made progress. I was able to do the firmware reset with Keis. The phone got to the blisspop launch screen but just stayed there. I rebooted into TWRP and it still said I had 0mb of internal storage, and still had no OS installed. ADB still didn't see the phone, either. Now the phone will no longer boot to samsung, or to recovery, or TWRP. If I hold the power button the proximity sensor shines for a moment but that's it.
Same problem here, same phone but t0lte that ran many ROMs over 4 trouble-free years . Still at the pre-Kies stage, thus still can access twrp. Tried overwriting twrp with philz or CWM - Odin says PASSED but reality say no dice - twrp is still the recovery. Tried flashing stock - Odin again said PASSED, but still have twrp reporting 0MB.
Spent 1day surfing xda to ensure I have correct files and procedures.
Wonder if there has been any solution found...
When flashing a new recovery, do not check auto reboot. Flash the recovery in Odin. When you see the word reset in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery. Hopefully, this method will work.
Hi guys (and gals).
Looking for assistance.
Will try and keep this short and simple, but basically my phone is unable to boot and gets stuck in a loop. This happened after having to hard reboot the phone after my daughter enetered kid mode on the latest ICE Rom.
I initially chose to run a custom rom after various attempts to update my phone to nougat via an ota, which was failing all the time despite another recent carrier update to fix the issue.
Unfortuantely I was hasty in doing so and never took note of my cid/mid information and running the commands via adb or fastboot won't returns anything... I'm a bit stuck.
As it stands:
Softare status: Modified
Unlocked
S-ON
I have access to recovery mode in the form of TWRP 3.1.0-0. Any attempts to install a rom fail at various stages (various roms) and any attempts to wipe and reformat also fail with "Failed to mount 'storage'", "Failed to mount 'cache'", data etc. etc.
If I attempt to boot to download mode I get a message stating 'Failed to boot to download mode'.
I looked to try and reformat using adb and pushing ext4fs but it failed. Equally I tried to work out which RUU I need to try and go back to a factory image but I'm unsure which file or img I need.
Could it be a nand issue? If it helps the phone was from EE in the uk and was running on the most recent software version prior to the nougat update.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
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.
Hi,
I was trying to repartition my Note 2 with Phill's recovery to gain more space. Achieved successfully but as I tried to flash twrp back via Odin, I probably flashed TWRP to BL section and now there is no recovery or Download Mode opening. Tried to access the device via ADB commands but no device is found.
I am stuck on Samsung Logo. Is there a way to recover from this situation?
note: I have a TWRP backup taken onto the External SD card. A Smart Switch backup on the PC. Did I mess up? Is the phone unrecoveralbly bricked?

Maybe better to flash stock firmware with stock pit to re-partition to the original sizes. But you need to boot into download mode.
Else it is hard-bricked
