I have this problem. IMEI and baseband unknown, cant use wifi or simcard.
I've tried to flash EFS-Fix-regalstreak.tar.md5 and other CP (that contain modem.bin), and now the "cant mount /efs" problem is gone, but still NULL IMEI.
Try looking for latest firmware that have same security level/binaries like your current firmware. This is just an example in my case, my phone using A520FXXU7CRHA firmware, so try looking for the same "U7" firmware too.
If your phone still rooted, maybe you can try to restoring EFS by some method in here. Just search "restore EFS"

My phone is brand new, but i got it as a give away back in 2018, so not rooted. but the funny thing, when i plug it on the wall charger, it can boot up with no problem. so i will try to take it to local service center and check/change the battery.

Back story: OTA update to 4.3 killed USB on this phone, so there is no USB access to it - at all. I don't have a Windows computer, so I never downloaded ODIN to root the phone. It is completely stock, other than the unlock code obtained from T-Mobile.
I just switched from T-Mobile to AT&T, and for some reason had no data connection on the phone, even with the correct APN settings. I decided to try a factory reset. I went through the system settings menu and found the "Reset to factory settings" menu item, selected it, acknowledged the warning, input my PIN and let it go to work.
A few minutes later, it had rebooted into recovery. Sicne it was there, I took the opportunity to use the boot-loader's reset function and wiped the cache while I was at it. That was a mistake.
Now, the phone won't boot past the pulsing Samsung logo. I can get back to the recovery, and it pops up these errors - first, the droid on his back with the red triangle over him flashes "No command", and then it dumps me to the recovery menu with this scrolled at the bottom of the screen:
Code:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : TMB
Successfully applied multi-CSC
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
can't mount '/data' (Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /data/log/recovery_log.txt
It's obviously soft bricked. I can't use ODIN to flash anything. But, since I'm at the recovery screen, it is giving me the option of loading an update from external storage - what should I put on the SD card to load in order to fix it? Can I fix it without ODIN?
edit to add:
I've already tried the stock UVUEMJC firmware from DocHoliday77's thread, but it threw a bunch of errors across the screen that I didn't catch in time and rebooted to the same point.
Try @saranhai's StockMod Rom. Put it on the External SD and flash it. If that fails, please post the error log.
On another note. can you try in Recovery and manually mount /Data Partition ?

Stuck @ work today, and I didn't bring it with me. I'll give that a shot when I get home tonight. I don't recall seeing a "mount" option in recovery - it's the stock Samsung recovery, I'm not sure I made that clear in the OP.
My Nexus 5 arrived last night, so this is becoming a project for me. I just want to know if I can make it work, but without USB access to it, that is probably a non-starter.
If you have Stock Rom, there isn't anything you could flash that way. At the most you could flash a Stock firmware via KIES.
Hello all
I was updating my gf phone from rooted UVALJ4 or UVALH2 (Cant remember now, but it was an old Firmware) to root66 T999_UVUENC2 via Odin 3.09 on my Win 7 pc but after the odin install (which passed) I rebooted the phone and I got stuck on the Samsung logo on the start up screen. After about 10 mins I pulled the battery and tried to enter the Recovery mode, but nothing appears. Just a black screen.
So i Odin flashed the TWRP 2.6.3.1 to try to get to a recovery, but that didnt work. Still no Recovery.
I then used odin to flash the stock tmobile UVUENC2 4.3 firmware and it still gets stuck on the Samsung screen.
Next I tried to unbrick it via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367 using "SGH-T999 4.3 only Debrick Image" and reflashed the stock 4.3 rom, but that didnt work. :crying:
What can I try next? WHat should I do? I can still access download mode, thats about it.
Please help if you can.
Thx
I dont know how but I got the stock recovery to finally appear and now I get these errors (see Pic) what do these mean?
The recovery errors read: E:failed to mount /data ( Invalid argument) can't mount "/data" (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /data/log/recovery_log.txt
again thx

Never Mind Used Unified Android Toolkit to fix recovery and flash stock rom.
Thank god for that toolkit.
...time to donate
:victory:
Mod Please delete Thread.
Thx
In the future, try a factory reset, almost all boot hangs are solved with this. Happens because of incompatible data between versions, which would make sense condidering the jump you made. Kind of makes sense with the error message too, but I'm not 100% certain there.
Be careful with the toolkit. There is no support for it and it has bricked phones in the past.
Hello everyone,
i'm new to android devices and english is not my native language, so i'll try to explain my problem as well as i can.
the GT-I9195 won't boot, if i turn it on it freezes in the booting screen (the white logo with the model number).
so my first try was to recover it to factory settings by pressing volume up+home button+power. unfortunately this results in a red text that tells me: "E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)", so the phone can't access the files that are needed for the recovery.
now i thought maybe kies could help me with this emergency firmware recovery but kies doesn't even recognize the phone, it stucks at trying to connect to the device.
ok at this point i knew this is getting complicated, i think the next step is trying to flash the right firmware by hand and restore the files needed for the recovery, buuut i don't know which firmware is the right one since i can't check the correct PDA/CSC/MODEM number.
now my question is how can i figure out which stock firmware is the right one, or maybe i can use some sort of costum firmware?
do i need to download any other files to make the phone work again? i ask that because when i open the odin tool there are buttons with bootloader/pda file/etc.
i hope that just somehow the files got corrupted and the intern flash memory ist still working and not damaged...
thanks in advance
I drop my phone one day and this nightmare started. When I power on my phone it then stuck on bootloop. I then start the phone in recovery mode and I got the error messages as below.
Code:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
E:failed to mount /system (No such file or directory)
can't mount '/system' (No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /data (No such file or directory)

Then I go on and try to flash with stock ROM using Odin. I am pretty sure I did the steps right as I follow online instruction and I flash my phone before. At the end my phone just stuck at bootup screen and when I try in recovery mode it shows the same error message as above.
Is anyone have any idea how to get this fix? I am suspected that my internal storage is corrupted but that's just my guess. Thanks in advanced!
*****I notice that when I start Odin it get through the "Get PIT for Mapping" step very quickly unlike what I saw on any other youtube video. Is it possible that my phone PIT is corrupted and need a new PIT file?
try downloading this and flashing via odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975560
i just had a problem with trying to restore a stock rom using twrp and got stuck in a boot loop, even after wiping and installing another stock rom... then i flashed this one via odin and for some reason it worked and i'm back into my stock rom w/ root.
really hope this works for you & good luck.

I did try flashing with Odin but it end up in a bootloop. I will look into the thread you provided and see if I miss something. At the meantime, I hope there will be another way to work around.
I search online and found someone having the similar issue to their phone but it is on HTC device.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/
Therefore, I believe my internal storage partition is mess up or corrupted and need to repartition. In order to do that I believe I need the PIT file for my T-Mobile Note 2 is that right? If so can anyone provide me the PIT file for T-Mobile note 2? Or is there something I am missing still?
Anyone have any idea about this? Please I really need help on this.

Really sorry I missed your previous post. Have you tried to ODIN a custom recovery? Download this and flash with ODIN, then try to boot to recovery.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/05sczh30v7f96q8/Note2-CWM-6.0.4.3-SGH-T889.tar
If you can get to recovery, follow the instructions in my ROM thread for wiping. If you want to give my ROM a try, download the D edition. The wifi will work no matter what bootloader you currently have installed. You'll have to take out your sd card and get the ROM file on there with another device before you proceed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631278
This is a T-mobile stock, rooted and debloated ROM. There is a link in the thread for the stock 4.3 modem to flash too in case you need that. Put that on your sd card too.

I tried flash the CWM recovery with ODIN but my phone start bootlooping and cannot get into original recovery again. I believe my phone's motherboards is damage in some way that cause the internal storage fail to be detected. Do you think putting in a new motherboard will work? I search on ebay and it's like $80 for a new working motherboard.

If you haven't figured this out yet I'll throw in my 2 cents.
Start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678420
I don't know exactly what heimdall is but odin should work just fine for this. Try a few different odin versions if you have to as it has changed a lot over the years since the release of this phone.
Also make sure to uncheck reboot from odin, unplug after reflash, pull battery, then manually go to recovery immediately after flashing. If you get anywhere besides the TWRP you have to flash again.
