My note 2 is completely stuck !!! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello,
Im searching for days for a fix to this problem, I read many articles for people having such an issue but I couldn't find a working solution.
well, it was working fine couple days ago but suddenly it crashed and stuck in a bootloop.
I was using DN4 4.4.4 with twrb recovery and when i tried to wipe dalvik/cache partition I had this error "unable to mount /data".
I googled it and found a fix for it by checking " repair or change file system" which I already did but after this step the phone rebooted itself and since then I couldn't launch the recovery !!
I tried to reflash it via odin but nothing happened.
I tried to reflash stock rom which I downloaded from sammobile then it's stuck on system.img step forever ( with or without PIT file).
Now im out of ideas.
Would you help me with this ?
Thanks in advance guys. appreciating all the help.

What is the model # of your phone? If the model # is sgh-i317, then you cannot flash any stock ROMs from sammobile.com if the phone is running a 4.3 or newer bootloader.

thanks for help
I figured it out.
I flashed bootloader 4.3 then twrb and every thing is good now

Failed to mount /efs error

Hi all,
i've search and tried most of the methods on threads with similar issue but to no avail.
So i'm posting my situation here hoping someone with the expertise can help me.
My IMEI became null/null after flashing Criskelo rom. I had previously saved a copy of my efs.img on my PC.
When restoring my EFS backup, it says "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3: write error: No space left on device"
So i used Odin, flash a stock ROM with pit, bootloader, pda, phone and csc.
The flashing was successful with no errors but stuck samsung logo for as long as i can wait.
I then booted to stock recovery and notice it says "E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)"
so i did a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition.
Reboot. Still stuck at Samsung logo.
I tried to sideload my efs.img but there is a "E: signature not verified" error
So i thought what the heck and flashed Chenglu's CWM via Odin. Phone successfully boot to CWM
i wiped data/factory reset, cache and dalvik. Reboot and still stuck at Samsung logo.
I then tried flashing CF-Autoroot, it was ok as well with no issues but stuck at Samsung logo again.
Rebooted back to CWM, Tried to mount efs, got an error saying error mounting efs
i flashed various stock rom via Odin, all process PASS with green but mostly stucked at samsung logo...
is my device soft bricked? or is my sd card is dead? or is my efs partition fried?
anyone kind enough to share his complete backup file? my country sells the n7105.
i bought the export n7100 instead so its kinda hard for me to find a friend with the same fone.
i have been flashing roms since the good old Galaxy S and this is the 1st time i cannot revive my phone from past experience...
bump for you, im facing the same error.
Hi mate, im not sure if this would work but have you tried the super wipe mod here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1925402.
worth a shot cant make it any worse.
also checkout this for a solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=E: signature not verified
Hi thanks... sadly links are down. will try the super wipe thing.
i remember doing the wipe in TWRP before flashing Criskelo.
i did get away with the signature thing. its easy. just turn it off in CWM.
i went to my local samsung service center and they rejected my phone as its considered "export" to them
did the super wipe.
Flash stock with Odin.
Still keep getting stuck at samsung logo on boot and recovery still shows : Error: Can't mount /efs
cant you restore it to factory settings and return it to where you bought it from.

mine is under warranty, so I could try to restore to stock rom which gets stuck at the samsung logo.
problem is that going into download mode shows this :
custom binary download : 12
Current binary : samsung official
system status : custom
iv had alook round and cant see anything that will fix it, in odin theres a clear efs button.
edit: just found this info on a usb jig that resets counter to 0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934771
how do I go about clearing the EFS since it is greyed out.
so there's no work other solution to this, except for getting the jig?

Edit the ini file for Odin and set PhoneEFSClear=1 that'll check the EFS Clear option (even though it remains grey). See if that helps.

same here
Has anyone found a solution to this yet?! I have the exact same issues, phone died, then when powered back on was stuck in a boot loop, returned to stock and got the unable to mount efs invalid argument text, now its still stuck in a boot loop with a flash count of 8 so cant be sent in for repair, any advice is greatly appreciated!
I have the exact same problem
i have the same problem . . and to make matter worse i don't even have any warranty . . :crying: . ..
is there no way to to get the phone to boot in to the OS regardless of any functionality ??
I couldn't find the topic where i learned this info, but it's something like this: if you flashed the modem (i think so) and you have an EFS backup like me, you just need to flash any other thing and restore the EFS backup. But, if you don't, you must stay with the modem.
okay, i just found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332913
Good luck. (And press the thanks button if i've helped you :fingers-crossed: )

Completely stock Note 2 just got screwed after flashing new 4.4.2 ROM for my country via Odin, the ROM booted fine, transferred contents to PC, factory reset the phone, set google account and reinstalled apps and transferred saved data back. Data, phone calls and everything else was working. The phone got to 10% battery lost network (this is normal lately lol) and shut off when battery died. Phone never rebooted and stuck at Samsung logo. Recovery reports "/efs I/O mount error" tried the guides by ketan and a couple others nothing seems to help
same applies to me. Perhaps some hardware fried is my guess.

Stuck in recovery after trying to flash 4.2.2 via m.odin

Solved thanks to advice from users on another forum.
Hi, everyone,
Unfortunately, my first post is bad news.
I have a 5110, which I bought in China and love, and yesterday I tried to use mobile odin to flash the UK 4.2.2 stock from sammobile over my 4.1.2 rooted firmware.
Odin seemed to be doing fine, but at about 15% of the way through the process the progress bar froze and eventually the tablet restarted into Android System Recovery.
I can get into download mode. I tried to use Odin on a PC to flash the same file, but I got the error:
NAND Write!!
Failed!!
At this point I don't know what to do next. I've read some threads that indicate that this could mean needing a motherboard replacement (problem with NAND), but I hope that isn't the case…any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Bootloops After ODIN back to Stock Firmware

Hi guys,
I have the t-mobile s6 edge
After messing around with my device last night and this morning, I decided to go back to stock for a bit.
I have ODIN 3.10.6. I went into download mode on my phone. extracted the stock firmware from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
loaded the "G925TUVU1AOCG_G925TTMB1AOCG_G925TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5" file into the ap box for odin
connected my phone to computer, odin recognized it. hit start. ran successfully. rebooted, android guy came up briefly and said installing system update, then it changed to "Erasing..." then it rebooted again
now it's just bootloops forever after the tmobile screen. I can boot to recovery and it says installing system update each time I boot to recovery, but selecting reboot system there shows a no command error. force the phone to power off... power on again to bootloops.
tried to go into download mode again and reflash everything through odin, same issue!
I started last night by rooting using chainfire, then installing TWRPv2, then I flashed the 5.1.1 ROM available from @eousphoros (sorry for the tag, just thought you might want to be apprised of the issues in getting back to stock after using the 5.1.1 ROM).
with 5.1.1 loaded, smart switch didn't recognize the phone for a reset so I decided to go with the ODIN method and now i'm in bootloop city
any help would be greatly appreciated

You probably need to do a factory reset
In the future you should make a full backup before installing a rom

AHH!! Sorry to have made this post... here's what I did to get it actually boot:
reflahed the stock firmware through odin again, tried to reboot, it failed, obviously. rebooted to recovery, factory reset in recovery, power down option in recovery, then turned the phone on again and it magically worked!
hopefully this post will help someone who encountered the same issue

I had the same excat same thing happen when flashing this via Odin. I didnt need to Odin stock twice though . I just booted stock recovery and did a factory reset. After that I went ahead an powered down and rebooted . All good now
How long did you have to wait in the stock recovery to get past the "installing system update" screen? Mine just sits there and I'm unable to view other options in recovery.
EDIT for noobs (like me): wait 30 seconds on the "installing system update" screen.
I'm still stuck in boot loop
Im in the same exact situation , but I'm still stuck in boot loop. I followed your restore instructions and nothing. Please help.

Pp.
I initially used odin to flash OI1 update, after a rom I was using caused problems and I got bootloop. It changed bootloader value to b:3 and I'm unable to downgrade now so I used smart switch which didn't recognize device so used emergency recovery and still bootloop. I have factory reset and wipe cache multiple times along with adb side load and individual flashes of bootloader, modem, kernel, flashed custom kernel and twrp to access fix permissions and to mount partitions with advanced wipe etc and still wont boot past logo. Also during one fix attempt phone said can't mount system.. Idk I'm not understanding where the problem is .everything says successful but I'm still in bootloop. Please help. I've spent hours everyday for the past week searching & trying different things that seem might help so open to any suggestions.
Problem with Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195
Hi everyone
I'm new to the whole ROM flashing and using Odin. I had a bootloop problem and recovery mode showed all the options but has a green android man laying down with red icon above him and No Command below the android man. Tried the factory wipe and cache wipe but it gives some red writing with the word failed in the coding and the word error under the android man. Tried to flash a stock ROM from sammobile using Odin. Odin gives a pass but the same problems persist. Can someone please help?
any solution, i have this problem to? only bootloop, nothing else. Updatet bootloader with 4up

can anyone help me
im flashed phone whit dis frimwer from anroide 7 G925TUVS6FRC1_G925TTMB6FRC1_TMB

Soft brick that wont go away - stock firmware uneffective

So my issue is pretty similar, see what you guys think. i been trying everything i can think of.
i updated from xtrestolite 2.1 to 2.2 with out wiping. everything worked fine except when i would make calls, the other people could not hear me. so i updated the bootloader and modem again (i had done it before) and the problem persisted. i flashed back to stock and was getting stuck at the s6 edge screen. the only way to get around this was and get my phone to boot was to flash aou kernel. i was still having a similar issue with calling so I download a modem from a diffrent server and all of a sudden, it was working again on stock firmware... AWESOME!
now that i had all that done and my phone working as it should, i reset my phone for the first time and i got the FRP lock, wont boot phone because custom kernel. GREAT
I then flashed stock of6 again, the tar ball, and the 4 piece version. no dice
i then found of8, tried to flash that still no dice.
id love to flash twrp and load a rom on, but FRP is a alsjdflajs.
the phone will flash successfully, but upon reboot, it will go into recovery, run its course, reboot, and get stuck that the galaxy s6 edge screen.
i use the vol and power click during recovery to see what its doing and everything seems to go fine. it will then say failed to mount /data. im hoping flashing this with the pit file will work, but i cannot download the pit file from my work computer (hahah its blocks on 4shard and mega).
anyone have any other advice? i will update if i figure it out.
Regards team,
-Mad
p.s. none of this is xtrestolite's fault, that rom has been nothing but good to me.. my phone has been picky though. after 5.1.1 i had to flash a custom kernel in order for the digitizer to function properly.... any help is appriciated guys.
SO UPDATE!
nothing good, i tried the pit with of6 and of8, no dice. still stuck.
anyone got a s6 edge w a broken screen? you can claim it lost for all i care.
no one?
i guess if anything past flash stock firmware people dont know? was hoping for alittle more insight.
im sure if i could flash a kernel i could get it to turn on, but FRP has be at bay...
no help for you bro...Samsung just needs to release there software fixing for this comunity...I'm looking a for a dev to answer my question in this section about just flashing zip files in twrp instead of using odin or whatever other methods that can avoid all these problems that are all similar...hopefully in next few months it will be addressed

Weird n7100 bootloop

Hi i was helping my friend to update his firmware. after doing so the phone is now stuck in a weird bootloop. i had seen my fair share of bootloops but this seems weirder than others. the n7100 logo would loop very quickly (sorta like flash) and keeps doing so. can't enter recovery mode at all, only download mode. plug it to odin and whatever i can throw at it i just got nand write start fail, be it twrp, multiple versions of stock rom. im at the end of my wits, so what should i try next? thank you for any input
What is the Odin error when trying to flash the latest stock ROM from sammobile.com? Tried different USB cables and USB ports?
I kinda have/had the same problem.
N7100 logo would bootloop quiet fast (doesn't get to the point where it should load the rom).
Can't enter recovery bc of that.
Only thing that works is download mode.
After trying to flash newest stock rom (4.4.2) it failed once (I think my cable gets too old...)
Next try it worked without a problem.
Problem persists.
Next step was flashing an older repair firmware (4.1.2) but it failed (I think bc of the 4.4.2 bootloader? IDK)
Then I tried to flash the newest stock again but with the pit file. Flashed without a problem but the problem was still there.
Last step I made was to flash the newest stock with the pit file and nand erase + update bootloader.
Tried it 2 times but it failed.
Now I'm stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Download mode got a red message also: "RPMB: INVALID RPMB DATA"
I don't know what to do now. Please help.
PS: It was a "new" motherboard from aliexpess, it had a chinese version of the stock 4.1.2 if I remember right and was already rooted when I installed it. I wanted to flash the newest 4.4.2 for the new modem and stuff and then upgrade to lineage. :/
