My tablet constantly restarts, turns on, but fails to stay on for more than 3 minutes, I have tried to flash from odin, with a pit file, and nothing remains the same, when entering the recovery stock I have tried to clear cache or data says; e: format_volume make_extf4fs failed on / dev / block / mmcblk0p15
Did you flash stock firmware with Odin?

Hi,
I got a phone from my friend to be fixed as it was just not booting up. The initial boot up screen was coming and going: "Samsung Galaxy Note II".
The phone is from Rogers Canada (unlocked) and the Model is SGH-i317M (Samsung Galaxy Note II)
I tried different things but it is stuck at "E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)" errors. I'm not sure if the error is due to some corrupted memory modules (or) due to some software issue. Also I'm not sure if the issue was caused by me (or) was there from before.
What I've tried is:
1) putting the TWRP (twrp-2.8.7.0-t0ltecan.img) and doing a complete wipe. Tried to install the ROMs but was not possible.
2) Tried to flash stock ROM (I317MVLUDNF3_I317MOYADNF3_RWC.zip) via ODIN ...says PASS! but phone is in the same state.
3) Tried to flash the stock ROM and "Re-partition" using the compatible PIT file found in one of the XDA threads: (i317-i317m-pit-files.zip : i317m.pit) via ODIN...says PASS! but the phone is in the same state.
...also did the (a) wipe data/factory reset (b) wipe cache partition ...during which the same errors { E: failed to mount } are thrown.
I'm not sure what the previous version of Android was on the Note II (or) any other information. I tried to flash it to the latest versions available for that model. From what I read at androidayos /samsung-galaxy-note-2-stock-firmware it says we should flash to the exact same stock firmware otherwise it won't work due to 'secured bootloader'. Should I try flashing now to lower versions of stock ROM and see something works?
Sorry can't post the image of the error but I try to type it out here:
--
Android system recovery <3e>
KOT49H.I317MVLUDNF3
Volume up/down to move highlight;
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from ADM
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_recovery
E: failed to mount /data (No such file or directory)
.....

Thanks a lot your help.
i have the same problem
can some one help us in this
Hi everyone.
My wifes i9195 went dead recently, fully stock, latest stock rom, unrooted, a bit over 2 years old.
It worked normally and then just died, wouldnt turn on or charge. I left it on the charger for a while and then I managed to turn it on, but it was stuck in a bootloop.
I googled high and low for a solution, but couldnt manage to find one.
I tried to flash stock firmware via odin several times, including the pit file, but nothing worked. Odin says that everything was flashed ok, but when I try to turn it on I still get the bootloop.
I can enter recovery, but when I try to do a factory reset I get the following message:
--Wiping Data...
Formatting / data...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
Formatting /cache..
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache
Data wipe complete.
SOmehwere I read that I should flash twrp and format it to fat and then to ext4, but I cant seem to flash twrp. I used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449107 and again Odin says it flashed OK, but when I try to enter recovery I again get the stock recovery (KOT49H.I9195XXUCOC1).
Is the phone hard bricked, anything I can do to it?
Thanks for your help.

it looks like a hardware failure.
But try to flash TWRP again, and don't let Odin auto-restart the phone. Immediately restart to recovery after flash success.
I've tried that as well, untick autoreboot, power it off and power on in recovery, same result, I get the stock recovery.
I also think it might be a hardware problem, maybe a memory chip or something is not working which is preventing the flashing
Hello, please guys, I really Really really Need some help with my phone, because I'm out of Ideas...
CASE: S4 Mini Duos - GT.i9192
PROBLEM: Doesn't save any changes in android (in my session) (((I mean, installed apps, new photos, new texts are gone after reboot, also If I delete files, photos, apps, they are back the same after reboot))), Doesn't let me install Stock or Custom Recovery (it says No Commands), Everything I do through ODIN ends Great, Ok, with Zero Error, But after Reboot, my Phone it's Exclatly the same, the same date/hour, the same files, the same wallpaper, sames apps, etc.
DONE SO FAR:
- Kies (Emergency Recovery,etc) with Zero Error ------> After Reboot: S4mini The SAME.
- Smart Switch (Emergency Recovery, etc) with Zero Error ------> After Reboot: S4mini The SAME.
- ODIN : Stock Recovery (TPA, Latin America, Trinidad Tobago, brazil) with Zero Error ------> After Reboot: S4mini The SAME.
- ODIN: Stock Recovery + PIT File (correct one) with Zero Error ------> After Reboot: S4mini The SAME.
- ODIN: Custom Recovery (clockworkmod, twrp, Philz) with Zero Error ------> After Reboot: S4mini The SAME.
- ODIN: Custom ROMS (several) with Zero Error ------> After Reboot: S4mini The SAME.
- STOCK RECOVERY: Error Says: No Commands... and at bottom says:
#MANUAL MODE#
--Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code: TPA
Unable to open dst '/system/app/VivaElFutbol_v1.03.apk' (No such file or directory)

Formatting /data...
E : format_volume: male_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. 1/by-name/userdata
and more of the same...

I'd look at permissions, you probably don't have write or execute somewhere.
Though I've never had to play around with them thankfully I know there is an option in TWRP (maybe CWM also) that is called "fix permissions" that will change folder permissions back to default.
u should read not write
E : format_volume: male_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. 1/by-name/userdata
there is the answer of your question, silly
it does not even touch your system
find a working recovery
all starts with working recovery ^^

Hi everyone,
My S4 Mini GT-I9195 LTE 8GB (Stock 4.4.2) became a hard brick after trying to enter Safe Mode (booted while holding volume-down).
This problem I managed to fix by using a debrick.img on a SD Card, which made Download mode possible.
However, after flashing the Stock ROM (I9195XXUCOD3_I9195NEECOD1_NEE) using Odin without errors, the phone goes into a boot loop.
I can enter Recovery mode (Stock) and Download mode without any problems.
When I try to clear the cache, I get the following error:
"E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/cache"
I can still access the cache partition by chosing "Apply update from cache", which makes me think it only got corrupted somehow (and not eMMC failure). When I browse the cache-partition from Recovery, I can see the "lost+found" and "recovery" folders.
My next step to try to fix my phone, is now to recreate the partitions using a PIT-file. I have been using PIT Magic v1.3.10 to check different files for the I9195, but so far all of them seem to be for the 16GB version of the Mini? Since I reflashed with a Stock ROM in Odin (debug mode disabled), I cannot access my phone using ADB (except for "Apply update from ADB").
Hope that someone here can point me in the right direction and hopefully have a PIT-file for the 8GB-version of the Samsung S4 Mini GT-I9195 LTE.
I also have another almost identical S4 Mini with broken recovery ("set warranty bit : recovery"), which I will use as a test subject
Best regards,
Walkir

Hi there.!!!
Im from Venezuela i some problem with my s4 mini I9195 LTE.. Any help?? Please??
Hello All,
I have a samsung tab3 SM-T210R, that my in-law gave me to try and recover. It currently has the following error when I try and go into download mode
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
I can't get anything to load and can not seem to get the pit file to install either. Is the device bricked?
thanks
Factory reset in recovery mode?
