So I rooted with Odin using the "SPH-D710_Zedomax_Kernel.tar" and then unrooted with Odin using the "acs-eg30-stock-kernel-pulled.tar". Once I unrooted everytime I boot my phone up I get this error message:
'gaudi_bootimage.jpg' draw failed
and I boot into System Recovery (manual mode), and if my phone is plugged into laptop or wall charger when I power down I receive the following error message
'charging.jpg' draw failed
Even when I root back, it still always boots into recovery mode and boot up error message is replaced with the Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 splash screen, but I still get the 'charging.jpg' draw failed error.
On both occasions (root or unroot) I can still select reboot system now and the phone finally boots up fine, but I'm trying to eliminate the jpg boot and charge error messages and boot directly into he phone without having to select it in recovery. I have done a complete factory wipe with the same results as described above. Any suggestions?
try reflashing the stock pulled .tar file? and a nandroid backup/stock OS?
Looks like some files may be corrupt.

I have tried reflashing the stock pulled .tar file and resetting to factory defaults, neither of these worked. Are the files 'gaudi_bootimage.jpg' and 'charging.jpg' something I can place in a specific directory that will avoid this boot up into recovery problem? I'd like to overwrite those potential corrupt files with good ones.
They are in /mnt/.lfs
I'll see if I can pull them and post for you.
Oh wow!
There's a treasure trove of stuff in this directory. I think it's hidden but using Android Webkey I got to it. I'll post some other "boot" images from here. The initial "Samsung Galaxy S II" image isn't the only one. I like the Iron Droid one, though it doesn't seem complete.
Anyway, here's the .zip of all the images in that directory.
I saw you wiped fator reset. But dis you also wipe the cache and dalvik? Then do clean install with CWM 5.x.x.x ? I would recomend that id u haven't tried thus yet

Alright a quick update (not positive):
I copied the files onto the /mnt folder, but unfortunately after I copy them they still don't appear in the directory. I reboot and I still receive the same 'gaudi_bootimage.jpg' draw failed & 'charging.jpg' draw failed. I do have root access by the way and I'm copying these to the directory using Root Explorer.
I also took the following steps:
Installed CWM 5.0.2.3
Performed a nanroid backup
formatted the system volume under 'mount and storage'
wiped data/factory reset
wiped cache partition
wiped dalvik cache
All that still with no success.
Another thing I'm noticing is when these error messages show (on boot & after power down while connected to charging source) it automatically boots into recovery. There has to be some way or place these files are being called for me to replace them to make this annoying issue go away. Any more suggestions?
So you have tried reinstalling CWM to see if it helps?
Seems (no expert here) that something is corrupted. Not sure exactly what but possibly part of the internal storage or the primary or secondary bootloader. I really hate to jump to something that extreme but i just don't see another reason it would be acting up like that.
I would download CWM one more time and check the MD5 before using ODIN to flash it. If it still does it - return to stock (remove the yellow triangle if you have it) and take it back to the store. Should be under warranty still.
Did you ever solve this problem as i have the same issue.

Unfortunately none of these options resolved it. Still pending.
got d boot image running....
Hey i 1st got a stock samsung boot .zip file and den used sgs2 boot changer to apply d img it worked....!!!! Thank got for dat .... Still dont knw wat to do abt d charging. Jpg though... D app works for dis model too... Try it out....
I just got a note 2 (i317m - canadian carrier model) that got messed up some how. When attempted to boot the phone it said unable to mount efs partition. My research tells me that partition that contains module info such as IMEI, bluetooth, wifi are stored in that partition. Now I realize why the repair guy wanted $350 to fix it.
Is there a way I can tackle this problem on my own and try and fix it? Apparently there is a tool here in XDA that can wipe the partition but I am not sure if that would rebuild it and allow me to mount it so I can create a new data file with the IMEI number in it.
Where should I start to attempt to fix the problem.
Please note, I can still access recovery (currently TWRP installed) and download mode and use ODIN if necessary to flash back a stock rom BUT can't mount to the computer for any file transfers nor can I boot the android device (stays at samsung logo). I have no issue using ADB is neccessary if I am lead in the right direction. This phone is already trashed in the eyes of the owner so its basically a little project for me to tackle when i have time to kill.

Have you tried flashing your official rom? Flash your official firmware by downloading it from sampro.pl or sammobile.com, flash it with PC Odin under PDA tab.
After you done, don't let reboot your phone, goto recovery by pressing vol up+ menu key then power key(continuously hold it until your phone restarts might be 4~8 secs.) Then check 'Wipe Cache Partition', and then reboot phone.
Yup and nothing worked.
Anyone?
So the only solution is a $300 fix?
Need some advice else will return phone to service center if unable to DIY to fix.
Have a D855 here. Phone is stock, not rooted. During file transfer, it frozen and rebooted into a white screen asking for "Enter pin/password to decrypt storage". Don't recall setting a pin thus have no clue what to input. Phone started making clicking sound after 10 seconds.
Did a VolDown+Power to entry Factory Reset but return with "e:failed to mount /cache (unknown error 150)"
Able to hold VolDown and enter Download Mode but as I have a Mac here, not sure which tool to execute. Can I recover with *.kdz?
Same error here:
E: failed to mount sdcard / Unknown error 150
when I try to find a .zip/.tot in recovery menu. I am ioroot'ed and am just trying to get a deodexed rom. I have Jasmine v2 and Stock. Both are on sdcard and internal card.
I am not sure how else to flash these ROMS another way, ie tethered. I was playing with LGFlash Tool but did not know what .dll file I needed to put first before the "S/W" which I would have guessed to be the .tot(Jasmine 2 or Stock). I just didnt touch it. I'm pretty sure I'll figure that in time but the error 150 is a big ?
I did boot into recovery with ROM Toolbox, but this happened before I unrooted and rerooted and had that same prob. Now I am on a mission..
*wanted to add mine: Verizon VS985-10B
Thanks

kdz test mode in flashtool cse, if you enter dowload
I am not sure what that means. Kind of a newbe with LGFlashTool, and rooting LG,
What are: kdz & cse? I looked everywhere when I open LGFlashTool.
I have a 64gig(58 actually) sdcard. Thinking it might be that? The card read/writes fines on G3 and pc. I can't see how it is formatted in properties. should it be fat32?
Oh man!.. I just saw another app called "LG Flash Tool" , not "LGFlashTool"..lol.. NOW those letters make sense...whew...
Will see if that works then figure out the Unknown error 150
Thanks
My wife's SG3 SGH-I747 will show the white "Samsung" logo, then the white Samsung Galaxy S3 logo, then it goes black. Pulled the battery several times, no luck. I'm assuming this was caused by a failed update.
I can get it into download mode, I have cleared the Cache and rebooted with no luck.
I'm not a complete rookie at this, but I haven't done it for years and I'm afraid of losing the data on the phone.
How would you suggest I proceed to save the data? (Pictures and movies)
install a previous stock rom via the download mode? Or odin? I don't have a custom recovery installed.
Will the unbrick method work in my situation? If so will it wipe the phone?
I've searched the forum and can't find anyone saying if the data is salvageable.
I know it's my fault for not backing up her data, but she's in tears over losing pictures of the kids. Please help if you can.
Thanks,
Installing a ROM via Odin may require you to do a factory reset before it boots.
Boot into download mode and look at the screen. Do you see anything about a warranty bit?
I just get the download screen. (See attached picture) Nothing about a warranty
Options are:
Reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Then it shows:
#MANUAL MODE#
--APPLLYING MULTI-CSC...
APPLIED THE CSC-CODE : ATT
SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED MULTI-csc.
.
That is the recovery mode, not download mode. To get into download, press the home button, volume down, and power button. Once the phone starts to boot, release the power button and hold the other two until you see the download message and press volume up to continue.
You were right. In download mode it says:
ODIN MODE
product name: sgh-i747
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
WARRANTY BIT: 1
BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 3
DOWNLOADING....
DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
Since the warranty bit is 1, this tells me you have at least a 4.3 bootloader on your phone.
The only thing I can think of to get the files would be to flash twrp onto your phone in download mode. Then mount the drive, connect the phone to your computer, and use Windows Explorer (assuming you're on a Win machine) to copy the files off the phone.

Flashing a new rom would wipe the phone?
The last full firmware AT&T released was 4.1.1. The AT&T 4.3 and 4.4.2 ROMs were only released as OTA updates for an existing stock ROM and stock recovery on a phone.
If you want to flash a 4.3 or 4.4.2 ROM, you need to use a version found on XDA to to this. Trying to flash a 4.3 ROM onto a 4.4.2 bootloader and modem could brick your phone. In fact, any flashing procedure can result in a brick or a loss of user data.
Even if you successfully flash a ROM, the ROM may not boot without wiping the cache and all user data first.
Good to know, Thanks a BUNCH for the help.
You are awesome!
Now...let's pray this works!
If you install a custom recovery, you can create a backup of the existing ROM even if the ROM doesn't boot.
Cool,
Odin 3.07 sees the phone, i downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-d2att.tar. Is it is loaded through the pda option?
Thanks again for your help.
Yes, flash it via the PDA section. Do not check anything except F.Reset time.
Flash TWRP, when you see the word Reset in the status windows, remove the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, create a backup of the rom, preferably to an external SD card. When the backup is complete, attach phone to computer, mount the partitions, locate files on the phone you want to save.
Done with install, backing up to SD now.
Ok, TWRP worked, I was able to safe the files (THANK YOU!!!). I used the file manager to find and copy the files to the sd card, then did a full backup. It never did mount to the computer, even after the drivers were installed.
It saved the backup with the file name: 1970-01-01--00-18-57 KOT49H.I747UCUFNJ1 so I'm guessing that is the build number it was trying to update to (KOT49H.I747UCUFNJ1). I can get to recovery mode and download mode, how should I go about making this phone work again?
I'm not sure how to check what version of bootloader I have. You scared me about the "bricking it" warning about flashing the wrong rom with the wrong bootloader.
If your are sure you saved the necessary files in two different places, boot into recovery and wipe cache , dalvik, and reboot. If it still won't boot, wipe cache, dalvik, and data in recovery, reboot.
Another option may be to use adb to pull files from the phone, you can even pull entire directories. I will work from recovery mode. There are tutorials on installing the toolkit for adb w/o installing all of the platform development tools. I use Linux so I can not verify how to do this on Windows, but it looks as simple as it was for me. Once adb is present on the PC, boot the phone into recovery, and in a command prompt window enter the command
Code:
adb shell pull /path/to/picture/directory C:\path\to where\you\want\it
and example may be
Code:
adb shell pull /sdcard/DCIM/camera C:\recoveredphotos
Check that I did my Windows path correctly
NO ONE?????
ODIN --> Flash Stock Recovery (AP) with NAND Erase All Option Checked (because it seemed to make sense) + Auto Reboot + F. Time Reset --> Reboots to Stock Recovery (did not work before) --> Reboot into Recovery --> Wipe Data/Cache and Dalvik just to be safe (this crashed it before) --> Reboot. THE END
TL/DR: I am currently stuck on recovery/update mode. Any attempt to wipe data or clear dalvik crashes it. any attempt to access data through TWRP crashes it. Flashing stock rom or custom rom does not help. Somethings wrong with /data? It thinks it has root from the CF Auto Root, but does not really? Something wrong with partitions? Should I wipe the nand with ODIN 3.10? Repartition? ugh ... Please help ...
I have searched the forums and found nothing that describes this issue precisely. I have also tried to apply various suggestions to repair, which, for the most part seems to have made it worse. I am hoping that people still look at this forum.
PC - Windows 7
Initially @4.2.2 ---> Touchwiz debloated stock ROM which I rooted. It worked for a couple years, but the device crashed frequently. I do not recall much about the installation, but believe that I used CWM/TWRP at the time. After installing the ROM, I ran triangle away (out of the box, it had 4.1.2, i recall)
I decided to upgrade to the most recent stock ROM (4.4.2). In order to do so, I used an easy installer I found else where on XDA. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773712 ---ODIN One Click exe). The device was not initially recognized, so I reinstalled the official driver package (said that they already existed, but I installed again anyway). Ran 1-click and it appeared to work.
Initially, the device booted (long startup) and seemed to function. It also preserved all data and programs (presumably did not touch the internal memory - 16 GB) and possibly root /data.
I then tried to root through most recent ODIN with CF auto root. This appeared to work and rebooted (again, showing the updating android apps screen before fully booting).
The only thing that i could find that had changed was the wallpaper (showed on lock screen but not on home screen). I could no longer find the image, so tried to go to /data/data to find it with root explorer equivalent. This is where it started to act weird.
NOTE: I did not clear anything (system cache, etc. at any point)<--a lie (see below)
It showed the root folder fine, but when I clicked on /data it took a while and could not access it. It either rebooted itself or I rebooted, but this time it was stuck in a boot logo loop. I entered download mode and flashed TWRP through ODIN. I set it to not reboot automatically so that the bootloader was not overwritten automatically (thus losing recovery). TWRP came up. The computer recognized it as a Media Device after I mounted USB storage. Just in case, I copied all of the important files from the internal SD Card to my computer. I then tried to go to the file explorer to copy the wall paper and it forced a reboot. At this point it was stuck on a logo screen boot loop again. I was able to enter Download mode and reflash TWRP. This allowed me to enter recovery again, however, now it would only boot directly into recovery (or Download mode if I did the button combo). The interesting thing was that it would reboot two or three times before successfully entering TWRP.
I believe I tried to reflash the stock ROM at this point, which might have worked but made no difference.
I was also having a lot of problems getting Windows to properly recognize the device. I had to reinstall the drivers a couple times. I tried Kies after the problems started and it tried to connect by failed. The diagnose connection did not work either. I was not able to get Kies to connect though I tried several times throughout the attempted repair
I downloaded a stock-rooted 4.4.2 ROM from here and tried to flash it. It failed.
I also tried to flash via Heimdall, but initially could not find any stock ROMs for Heimdall for the Galaxy 8. (The driver utility that is included helped to get the phone recognized by Windows sporadically).
I decided to switch over to CWM touch recovery, which I flashed via ODIN (I was having issues with TWRP again and also could not get windows to recognize the device as a media device when I mounted USB storage). This worked after a couple tries and I was able to enter CWM. I attempted to flash the stock ROM but it failed. Either at that point or when I tried to mount data it returned an error that device did not have root. Again, it would only boot into CWM (on its own) or Download mode (with key combo). At some point around here I cleared the cache and dalvik (error) after it returned an error saying insufficient space when trying to flash ROM.
I dissected the .exe from the autoflash used in the beginning (stock unrooted 4.4.2) and used the contents (system.img, cache.img, hidden.img, tz.img, recovery.img and one other I do not remember) in Heimdall to create a Heimdall package. At this point I figured out I did not need to create the package, but just specify the individual files. I flashed. It appeared to complete System.img successfully and then failed. Tried again with the same result.
Now when I rebooted, it would enter download mode with the Key combo, but otherwise it booted instantly to an error screen to the effect that a firmware installation had failed and to use the repair function in Kies to fix. Kies still did not recognize it.
At this point, I figured I should stop. Currently I can get to the download screen or the error screen. The computer recognizes it but intermittently fails to install driver. Zadig.exe sees it as Gadget Serial. Sometimes Windows just sees it as SAMSUNG_Android, in which case drivers fail. Once or twice I got it to recognize it as Samsung USB Composite Device, but Kies would still not work.
That's all i have for now. If more information is needed, let me know and I will update the post when I get home from work tonight (this is from memory).
Thank you
UPDATE: last night I went home and was able to get it back to the point where I could flash TWRP or CWM recovery. If I try to flash Stock Recovery, it fails. A minor problem is that I cannot turn it off - it just turns it self on again, so the battery keeps running down.
