Softbrick, cannot mount /cache, and "sw rev. check fail. device:3, binary:2"

Softbrick, cannot mount /cache, and "sw rev. check fail. device:3, binary:2"
Hey everybody,
While trying to flash a custom rom on my brothers 10.1 2014 (P600), I had accidentally wiped internal storage and system in TWRP. Once that happened and I flashed the Hydronium rom, I hit problems: bootlooping, flashing with odin3 stopped working, and Kies was no help.
Here is what I have tried so far:
-Re-flashing the rom
+Caused bootlooping
-Tried flashing two stock roms from odin
+Caused a "fail" in Odin and the message "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:3, Binary:2"
-"Repaired" the "system" partition
+Nothing changed when I had tried re-flashing the stock and custom roms through TWRP and Odin3
-Tried recovering the stock from both versions of Kies
+Kies gives an error that "device cannot be updated". I think it's because it is a refurbished model.
Download mode is also telling me that I have a custom custom binary, which I assume is due to the su binary.
Also, here is is what odin was telling me when it failed flashing a US version of stock rom:
"<ID:0/007> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

If you still can get into download mode, flash stock rom again, use odin 1.85 or 3.07

Still nothing.
Every time I tried flashing, the tablet says "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:3, BINARY:2."

first try to flash another recovery like PhilZ recovery , then push any custom rom into external storage (SdCard) and flash it ..
or if you have previous backup of your rom push it into SdCard and restore it with PhilZ recovery ...

I flashed PhilZ and re-flashed the custom recovery fine (although it still just bootlooped), but the stock rom did not flash at all. All of the roms and such are on the microSD card because I can't access the internal storage.
I failed as a hacker and forgot to make a stock rom back-up, so I'm trying to do the next best thing and try to find away to fix the problem without it.

did you try to do Wipe Data/Cache/Dalvik after flashing the custom rom ?

That worked!
I think the problem was that TWRP was force closing when I tried wiping dalvik cache and data, and I never thought anything about it.
Thanks for the help!

[Q] Tab pro 12.2 stuck in bootloop

Hi everyone!
My Galaxy tab pro (SM-T900) is stuck in bootloop. More precisely I can see the first Samsung galaxy tab pro screen but it restart before the samsung animation.
The tab was initially with official rom rooted with CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx.
I have already tried several things without significative improvement.
At first I tried to reinstall with Kies. Kies says my version is: PDA:NB5/CSC:NB2 (XEF). But after the window asking to reboot in download mode kies stops saying my device can not be recovered. I have read it could be due to a discrepancy of CSC or things like that between Kies and the Tab.
Recovery mode says:
Odin mode
Product name: SM-T900
Current binary: Official samsung
System status: Custom
KNOX waranty void: 1
RP SWREV: A1
My Knox flag was turned to 1 and I don't know how to set System status back to official.
I have also downloaded the stock ROM XEF from Sammobile and flashed it with odin 3.09. The process goes smoothly but the tab doesn't boot.
Even after a wipe (data/factory reset and cache) in recovery mode.
In recovery mode I could not install Cyanogenmod or other Zip files. The process stop during the package verification and says:
E:footer is wrong
E:signature verification failed
I flashed a TWRP 2.8 to try with a different recovery but again the Zip are not installed.
Have you any idea or any direction to investigate?
Thank you

If ur tab is US version then u have to flash XAR(cellular south) available through sammobile through odin and then let tab update itself after reboot. U will loose root

Actually my tab is from France so XEF version is the most adapted.
I think flashing a different version would be rejected. Right?

Yes it can brick too

You can flash any ROM as long as it is for SM-T900. The builds may have different apps, keyboards, and WiFi connectivity can be an issue due to WiFi channels being slightly different for each region.

The thing is that flashing zip in recovery mode leads to the error: footer is wrong.
Is there any log file I could read to find where the boot process loops?

If dodo99x is right u can flash xar version which is for usa and flash it through odin

As tar.md5 files doesn't have exactly the same size, I wonder if it is necessary to check Re-partition in Odin.

Never ever touch repartition. Super dangerous if you don't have the correct .pit file to recreate them. Those sound like bad downloads. You can also try to use a different usb cable and usb port on your pc.

I have successfully downloaded and installed the last rom stock revision for France: T900XXUANI1_T900XEFANI2_XEF
But I'm still stucked in Bootloop.
Other versions (XAR and XAC) still fail.
How can I get the PIT file for SM-T900?
As I can see and copy files with TWRP, is there any log file I should check to see what is wrong?

I would try wiping cache, sytem, dalvik, data and internal storage in twrp, then reinstall the france image file in Odin. This will of course erase all data you have on the tablet, but it should take you out of your bootloop. I have yet to see any valid PIT files for the SM-T900, or SM-P900. If you mess with the partitions without one, you won't even be able to flash anything in Odin afterwards.

No problem for the personnal data. I just would like to recover my tab.
I have wiped all the internal partitions: Dalvik, cache, system, internal data.
I have reboot in download mode and launched a flash of the T900XXUANI1_T900XEFANI2_HOME.tar.md5 with Odin 3.09
I also used voodoo magic!
But still the bootloop
I think the problem comes from an other partition not flashed with this process.
What other partitions are used to start Android?
Is there any log file to check?

Very unusual... try flashing cm11 for SM-T900 via TWRP. Will that one boot?

No The Cyanogen ROM doesn't boot either.
I'm still looking deeper in the boot process to identify the problem.
While I was reading this: http://en.miui.com/thread-15659-1-1.html
I just realized that the misc partition was absent from my tab.
I create an empty one and reflashed a stock rom but it doesn't solve the boot problem.
What files are usualy inside misc? Where can I find a copy of them?

At this point I would just get Samsung to fix it. Unless you can find a PIT file for ODIN...

Even with Knox value to 1 and custom Rom/kernel/recovery?
Do you think Samsung will reset my tab in those conditions?
By the way, when I look in the Boot folder with TWRP file manager, I don't see any file. The boot partition indicates an occupied size of 8Mo.
Where are those files? How can I acces to them?

Knox warranty has nothing to do with your hardware warranty. Just reflash stock rom via ODIN and send it back. Tell them you can't get it to boot, and that's it.

Do u know if u have usb debugging enabled. Maybe try booting into rom after complete wipe of all. It will probably sit on sam logo and will not boot due to no firmware and wait for few minutes and restart into download mode and flash correct firmware from sammobile. I did this in my old galaxy s 2 long long ago and it worked.

Hi,
Just a short feedback.
I finally succeed to finish the restoring process of Kies but it didn't fixed my bootloop and the Download mode indicated:
Current binary: Samsung official
System status: Custom
Knox warranty void: 0x1
I decided to return the device to Samsung (France).
3 weeks after: tadaam! Everything was fixed. Samsung changed my motherboard and battery.
No charge and no warranty void due to knox or rom modification.
I am so released
... I am now looking for a way to root the device without triggering knox
Is triangle away working with SM-T900?

To fix this try

Helped me on the footer issue and if this succeeds you should be able to boot.

S3 I747 Softbrick, "NAND FAIL (AUTH)" on flashing, what do I do?

Currently it can run download mode and recovery mode. After the 2nd splash screen it goes to black. To go into these modes, I must remove the battery to shut it down then restart it.

I think maybe I am using the wrong firmware, or that 3.07/3.09 odin might not work? I tried an earlier version (1.6~ i think) as well and it did not work. What should I do?
NOTE: I HAVE TRIED FLASHING AND RESETTING TO FACTORY DEFAULT. Last guy who tried to answer did not read my question, assumed from the title. Thanks

The flash is failing because the ROM is trying to downgrade your bootloader.
Don't flash anymore ROMs until you verify your bootloader. Flashing random bootloaders and files could hard brick your phone.

Hello and thank you! Before anything, sorry if I ask a lot of questions because I dont really know much about this stuff. I googled to find the bootloader is what function starts the phone basically, and I assume I changed it when I rooted my phone originally.
Is there a way for me to find out what the current bootloader is? I cant access any data from my phone, so I imagine that I cannot. In that case, should I just try to flash the newest bootloader into it if possible?

Download the latest CM11 and Gapps and save them to your SD card and put the SD card into your phone.
Download the latest Odin-flashable verion of Philz Touch recovery for the d2lte from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/
Launch Odin 3.07, connect your phone in dowload mode, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Flash Philz. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, disconnect the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, boot into recovery, flash CM11, flash Gapps, reboot. Download and install the Samsing Phone Info app from the play store and use the app to verify the bootloader and modem currently installed on your phone.

Hello. I actually do not have an SD card, is there a way to do this without one? I will go buy one if needed, of course.
Thanks for all your help!

Flash Philz recovery, boot into recovery, connect the phone, enable mtp, copy CM11 and Gapps to the internal memory.
If you don't get the mount option in Philz, flash TWRP and try to mount using TWRP.

So I tried to use the "Mount by USB" or whatever in Philz (I assume thats what MTP is in Philz) and I cant find my phone on my PC. I think this is the reason that when I select Mount by USB it just blinks and returns to the menu with no change. I am going to try the SD method because I could not find an answer for the USB issue in a few hours of searching.
BTW, when I put CM11 and Gapps onto an SD and run it through Philz, do I leave them as Zip files? Or do I select the boot.img for CM11 and the install-optional.sh for Gapps?

Do not unzip any of the files. Just flash them from recovery.
Did yo try TWRP instead of Philz to mount the phone on your PC?

Hello! Thank you for all the help.
It ended up not letting me flash CM11 or Gapps though SD, so I struggled for a while. I ended up getting CM12 to work from SD, and then Gapps was able to be installed as well.
It all ended well, and MY GOD its SOOOOO MUCH FASTER AND SMOOTHER at EVERYTHING now.
I think it mightve been worth letting my phone die for a week for this. Thank you so much!

Glad you got it all sorted out. We're all here to help each other. Cheers.:good:

Looking for a debrick.img for Android 5.1.1

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction or is willing to make one?

The i747 does not have a stock 5.1.1 rom; therefore, there is no debrick image for a 5.1.1 rom.
What bootloader is on the phone? Did any of the images from the debrick thread boot the phone?

Does installing 5.1 change your bootloader?
As in Cyanogenmod 12.1?
Softbricked my S3, and I'm not sure which way to attempt to recover/debrick & would appreciate any advice.
SGH I747 (ATT)

Still able to get into both Recovery & download modes.

My guess from another thread is that the /system and /data partitions are not wiped properly, causing those partitions to be formatted with read-only (R/O) permissions rather than read-write (R/W)? But those files are definitely not right for my phone, so what now?

Use twrp to as cwm is out of date. Once on twrp, you can try flashing cm12.1 again.
Flashing a custom rom via twrp does not touch the bootloader or modem.
Do not flash any files via Odin as doing so could result in a hard brick. Once the phone is on a 4.3 or newer bootloader, Odin cannot be used.

But how do I get twrp onto the phone?
was actually trying to put twrp on with odin, but that's not working.
The downloads I've seen are for:
app-phone doesnt boot
odin- aint working
TWRP Install - Requires TWRP 2.8.4 or higher already installed
dd Install Method - oh, didn't see that one. I'll try that & let you know.:laugh:
---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 AM ----------
well, I'm not figuring it out....
As per the twrp page, tried: dd if=/sdcard/twrp-2.8.7.0-d2att.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
file not found error
tried: dd if=/storage/sdcard1/twrp-2.8.7.0-d2att.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
file not found error
did ls (hey it's like linux!)
got possible locations: external_sd, sd-ext, sdcard, also looked under mnt.
file not found error
cd'ed & ls'ed to /storage/sdcard1/ there it frickken is!
ran the command there, sans path, and still get file not found error
arrrrgh.

Try this:
1) download Odin 3.07 from here: https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j...07763241,d.dmo
2) download the tar version of TWRP 2.8.7.0 from here: https://dl.twrp.me/d2att/
3) download the latest cm12.1 for the phone from here ( http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/d2att/) and save it to a micro SD card;
4) download the version of cm12.1 gapps you want from here (https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps) and save it to the same sd card where you saved CM12.1;
5) place the micro SD card into the phone;
6) boot the phone into download mode;
7) open Odin 3.07 and uncheck everything except f. reset time;
8) click on PDA and browse to the tar TWRP file and select it;
9) connect the phone and it should show up as a com port in Odin;
10) flash TWRP;
11) when you see the word RESET in the status window, remove the USB cable, remove the battery, replace the battery, use the button combination to get into recovery which should now be TWRP;
12) perform a full wipe of system, data, and cache;
13) flash CM12.1 and gapps from the micro SD card;
14) reboot and enjoy

very detailed response, thanks. I've tried most of that, as some thread I was reading said that twrp probably has the capability to fix the issue, and CWM definitely doesn't.
Odin never really does anything, though. How long should I wait?
This step is the one I haven't done "7) open Odin 3.07 and uncheck everything except f. reset time;" Just left everything alone the multiple times I tried. Hopefully that'll make a difference.
Tried 3.07, 3.09, 3.10.6. I'll try again.

By default in Odin 3.07, only auto reboot and f reset time are checked.
What do you mean when you say Odin does nothing? Does the phone appear as a com device in Odin? Are there error messages in Odin during the flash process?

never gives anything other than:

All I can suggest is to try and get access to a pc or try VMware with win7.

Tried again last night for about 12 hours, no response from Odin.
Decided to give jtag a shot.
Contacted the jtag guy & gave him all the above info.
He says
"Unfortunately there are many indicators that your phone has a hardware failure.... Most likely a failed emmc memory chip.
1) the phone getting stuck on boot logo for no reason.
2) Odin not flashing...
3) files not found or... Not being able to do.
These are all indicators that the emmc memory chip is toast...... The biggest clue is finding the phone stuck on boot logo... Out of nowhere for no reason.
Jtag would not be able to fix it.
Thank you"

That was on a windows machine...

Odin recognizes the phone but it won't flash twrp? Have you tried different USB cables and USB ports?

Flashed A705FNXXU3ASI2 firmware and now storage shows only 32GB

As title says, I flashed firmware version number PDA A705FNXXU3ASI2 and CSC A705FNOJM3ASI2 from sammobile and now my storage appears to be only 32GB instead of 128GB. How do I fix that?
edit:
I thought the problem was because I flashed the wrong firmware but it seems to be because of magisk.
I first flashed original firmware for my region. The storage correctly shows a capacity of 128GB. Then I copied the AP to my phone, used Magisk Manager 7.3.4 to patch AP file with Magisk 19.3 and then rebooted. After that, there is only 32GB available...
I didn't install Magisk canary version, because last time I did I got a corrupted AP file. Maybe it's fixed in canary?

turn of your phone completely. Press power+vol up till you see recovery mode. Select factory reset(something like this but I am sure it says factory reset). This will delete al your user data and format your phone. And you'll see your storage as 128gb.

This will reset to factory...if he flashed a7 it will just return to a7..he need to flash correct files through odin. Go donwload mode and flash it again. Fingers crossed that it will work.

I dont know but I didn't see the post that he says he flashed a7. I said this about a70 firmware because he firstly flashed a70. If he wouldnt try to flash again, factory reset wpuld fix the storage problem. Now as you said, I think he just needs to download and flash correct files.

Download from here

firmware working for me

Hey. Thank you for your answer. Yes I tried to flash a7 firmware by mistake but the process was stopped by an error. Now I first flashed the correct firmware and had 128GB but after patching the AP file with magisk (stable) I'm again with only 32GB. As I can't change the thread title I opened a new one.

just enter to recovery and select factory reset as I told you above. this will fix 32gb issue.

Hello, I have the same problem on an S10 +, because for the restoration of the factory system it goes back to 128gb, but I lose the root, if I keep the root it only identifies 32gb, I believe it is a problem with Magisk.
