Hello Everybody,
i am using this rom 4.3 from a while ago and i wanted to change it to the 4.4 rom
i decided to flash Omni 4.4.2 new rom from this url
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2487526
As per the installation instructions i went to download TWRP ver. 2.6.3.1 from here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/t03g
and i installed it through Odin, and when i tried flashing the rom through TWRP it says successful when i do factory reset and when i try to format data it says failed and when i try to flash the rom it says failed
it keep saying
e:/ unable to find partition size for "/data"
am not developer or expert, but i used to flash many roms for all my past android devices and this is my first time to see such error
well, the device still working when i exit TWRP and do system reboot my rom boot up normally and the device is perfectly working on my phonix 4.3 rom
but i noticed that Odin can not detect my device on the downloading mode anymore but it still can detect it if the device is turned on
So, could you guys advise about what exactly i had missed or damaged here? can i flash other roms? or recovery?
please give me some help here in deep details as am really new to such errors
Thanks a lot in advance and Happy New year for everybody

Ok I have the Galaxy S4 T Mobile Version, I flashed a Kernel that wasn't for the phone accidentally and now im getting this Error E:failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
Is there anyway of fixing this, Unfortunately i dont have an EFS backup, the phone does work on stock rom, but as soon as i try putting Cynogen Mod on it i get through the install but then im stuck on the boot image.
Ive looked up almost everything on the internet, but cant find anything
Please help me, your my only hope
Try flashing stock Samsung firmware using odin, with a full wipe. That's the good thing about stock, you don't have to install kernels because it always works right.

You flashed stock firmware, is the phone working properly?
Does Wifi, data , Bluetooth work? Can you access stock recovery and download mode?

I guess that would work but if your up and running and you can get into download mode or stock recovery without getting the message about efs and invalid arguments then you should root install a custom recovery and install the ROM of your choice.
If your not getting a message in recovery your done . just pay attention to all details and instructions in op so you don't mess things up.

Hi,
SM-P600 without ROM, without recovery, Kies and Odin doesn't work.
How can I reflash stock ROM or CM12 rom ?
Device : SM-P600 (with samsung rom stock 4.4!?)
I root my tablet with odin and teamwin 2.8.0.0 (PDA field + tar file)
the root flash should success.
I restart in recovery and install custom rom CM12 + Gapp
the tablet restart and stay to CM12 loading during all the night.
I come back into recevery mode
I try to wipe cache/dalvik => unable to mount cache/dalvik
I try to wipe cache => unable to mount cache
I try to wipe system => unable to mount system
I install Kies on my computer and try to restore the official rom with it.
The download of the rom is ok and Kies try to send the rom to the table a transfer is running during 15min (progress bar into computer windows, but no progress bar into tablet).
After that a second transfer progress bar into computer stay to 0% during 1 hour. I unplug my tablet.
Now I have got a table without recovery. I have access to download mode.
But I cannot transfer stock rom (PDA field) with Odin.
Thx for your help.
Staying at your disposal
I can flash recovery mod (TeamWin) with Odin.
But I cannot send Kies tar file by Odin.
I am downloading old stock rom (*tar) to transfer by Odin 3.09
How can I convert a CM12 zip file in tar file to tranfer it (I haven't SD card)
You could use a USB OTG cable (micro USB plug on one end and a socket like the USB ones on a computer on the other), one of these:
http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/301542874539?nav=SEARCH
And use it to plug a USB stick with the zip file on it into your tablet. You would have to mount it in twrp before flashing the zip.
They are a very useful cable to have, if your screen breaks and touch doesn't work you can use it to plug a mouse into the android device and use that for things like backing up your data before repair or disposal.
Hi I fixed the problem,

Hi Dribounet
I have similar issue with my SM-P600.
I have tried 10 official roms , official and custom recoveries also , without success. I am absolutely sure that I am not following correctly the procedure using Odin and its version or combination of this plus wrong official ROM and so on.
Also have tried to use PIT file because I think something goes wrong with the partitions but not success again,
Would you advice with your steps you follow in order to succeed installing custom recovery.
Can I install only the recovery without ROM and how I can run in it ( button combinations)
For now I am just able to run in Download mode and with one official ROM to run the process to the middle- then goes in error with Odin and when reboot the device it shows message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue ..... "
Thanks in advance for all answers

Still do not have the answer and solution.I have start thinking that this is hardware issue. But when i have got it intially from the service it was able to boot in a stock bootloader and I have done something wrong with Odin and since then not able event to go in stock or custom bootloader.

If you did not do something with it that makes the warranty not valid it is advisable to send it to service, unfortunatelly I have rooted it and they refused to accept it

Hello uno mas
would you advice what tools you have used and also what order you have follow.
First update PIT and then installed the ROM or other
Thanks in advance for time and efforts!
After 3 yrs on custom ROMs, I've managed to screw up my Note 2, and I'm lost as to how to restore my phone.
I've been on the Jedi Touchwiz ROM for ages, and about a year ago, changed over to Cyanogen.
I went from the Cyanogen 0825-Nightly to the latest 1017-Nightly by:
-backing up my data in Titanium Root,
-going into Recovery and doing a Wipe Data/Factory Reset,
-install the new 1017-Nightly image
-install GAPPS for Android 5.1
then reboot.
All is good on reboot, and I enter my Google info, mount desktop. I then install the Titanium Root app, and it reports that I've lost Root.
So I try to update SuperSU, and it fails to do it directly, and trying to do it with CWM Recovery fails as well.
I then use Recovery to Wipe Data/Factory Reset again,
reinstall 1017-Nightly and GAPPS 5.1
and reboot, thinking I must have missed something.
Now... I'm stuck on the Cyanogen Loadscreen (pulsing Blue Head). I haven't let it go longer than 10mins, but I don't think it should take that long.
I tried going back to my 0825-Nightly after this point, and no luck, I'm stuck on the Loadscreen.
Here are my questions:
1. I do not understand what being stuck on the Loadscreen means... what do I need to fix? Can I do it via Recovery?
2. How do I obtain Root again? The methods I originally used were for Jellybean... are there updated methods now?
3. What prevents SuperUser from updating?
Thanks for any help guys... I need my phone back!
on your second attempt you got stuck on boot screen??
i think you can wait for some more time and check..
remove battery re-insert and check whether it boots or not.. or else do a factory reset n check whether it boots or not..
if not do a factory reset and re flash the CM to check.
. if all failed then flash n7100 stock firmware via odin ..
about rooting.. if you have a custom recovery you can try to re root via custom recovery.. simply flash supersu.zip in your custom recovery...

Hi Tornado,
BTW, Tornados, esp the IDS variant, are great planes. Nice to see your avatar :good:
I had a comment from elsewhere, so I tried this:
-wipe data/factory reset inside CWM Touch Recovery
-formatted /system partition
-installed the 20151007 CM 12.1 Snapshot
-installed GAPPS 5.1
and then let it reboot. LOL, I've been worried about screen burn in, but I left it run for over an hour... no joy. It never left the loadscreen.
Just for grins, I tried the older CM11 version, and whilst the loadscreen problem still persisted, I did recognize the older boot animation.
At this point, am convinced I have soft-bricked the phone, since I have Recovery and Bootloader (thank goodness) still working, but something else is either not clearing or is corrupted.
I'm definitely thinking about flashing stock firmware again, but not sure if I should go back to Jellybean? or find an Android 5 image?
Am also looking into ADB commands to see if there is something deeper I can flush out, but I really don't want to make things worst.
I'm hoping that someone else has run into a similar situation... cheers for your suggestions!

Enter custom recovery.. and find mount and unmount area.. and select mount system then restart phone n tell me result
I went into Recovery:
-selected Mount System
-Reboot
Phone stayed on Loadscreen for 30 mins. After that, I yanked the battery.
I'm going to go into Bootloader, and swap out CWM for TWRP to see if that makes a difference. If any changes, will report back.

UGH. Still no joy.
Changed out CWM Recovery to TWRP,
-did Full Reset
-Advanced Wipe of System, Data, Int Storage
-install 1007 Snapshot of CM12.1
-install GAPPS 5.1
then reboot.
After 35mins of loadscreen, yanked the battery.
I can change Recovery images like a Boss now at least :silly:

Best option for you now is to unbrick your device to official stock firmware... and then try to install custom rom again... i can make ur device boot normally at this stage.. but ur phone will boot on factory imei..meaning wont detect sim .. so first unbrick your device to be at safer place to avoid further corrupting the efs.. hahahaaa

Keep updating me. I will guide u further
Just so I don't dig a deeper hole, I want to clarify a few points...
1. by going back to stock firmware, do you mean a certain OS version? If I find a stock Android 5 version, is that ok? or would going back to like Jellybean be better?
2. you mentioned that the factory imei will not detect my sim, so the radio won't work? If so, there is a way to fix this?
3. again for stock firmware... my phone is an American N7100 GSM (T-Mobile) version. About 2 years ago, it became an Int'l N7105 LTE mod, since I liked the feature set more, plus one of my past ROMs (Jedi-X?) I think changed it to the N7105.
-should I go back to a pure N7100 stock firmware, or a N7105 firmware?
Will start looking for firmware options in the meantime.

There is no 5.0 stock firmware for n7100 . Latest is 4.4.2 if your phone model is n7100 in download mode. Then your phone isnt tmobile.. and about factory imei .. first unbrick your device to check the status of your imei.. it could be fine also...right now phone not booting up.. so i cant tell...
Understood, grabbing 4.42 Stock Images.
From this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2740496
I grabbed the first 2x Installers.
-KitKat 4.4.2. Stock Rom by robalm
-4.4.2 DN3 (Ditto Note 3) Rom from E-Team
Both are these are .zip files; the one by robalm suggests using Odin for install. The 2nd one by Electron Team using custom Recovery (CWM/TWRP).
Will try Electron Team first, and if nothing happens, will try Odin and 1st one.

As u wish buddy. I recommend odin one first as its a stock firmware
Tried the Ditto Note3 ROM; no luck.
Inside TWRP Recovery, I did:
-Factory Reset
-Format Data
-inside Mount settings, verified EFS, cache, System, Data, Ext_SDCard were selected
-install Zip FAILED:
Error flashing zip ‘/external_sdcard/N7100XXUFND3_N7100OXAFND3_XEF.zip'
updating partition details…
…done
That is the extent of the error reporting. Tried 2x, both had same error log.
Yanked battery, went into Recovery again and re-installed the CM12 1007 Snapshot. I am back to the same loadscreen loop issue.
Moving on to Odin and the KitKat 4.4.2 ROM by robalm

Something happening with your partitions probably, listen the advice of tornado and flash it via odin.

Oh bugger me. Can't think straight.
I installed the wrong ROM. I copied the 'robalm' 4.4.2 KitKat ROM to my ext SD card by mistake. No wonder it failed.
Tried the correct DittoNote4 ROM; it failed.
This is from the TWRP recovery log:

YAY! I'm in!
I used N7105XXDMA6_Deodex_Rooted_01_28_13-teshxx.zip and flashed via TWRP Recovery.
I was able to enter Google info in Samsung setup, and am up on device desktop.
Insert SIM Card, check About Device, I have this for a Status Check...
Network-unknown
Mobile Network Type-unknown
Service State-Out of service
Roaming-not roaming
Mobile network state-disconnected
My phone number-Unknown
IMEI-Unknown
IMEISV-Unknown
At least it's not the Loadscreen is all I can say!
Ok, gone for a few for a late lunch.
Will let the device settle in, and will check back for any further suggestions.
Thanks again Tornado!

whats ur actual model number.. is it n7100 or n7105 .. if ur phone is n7100 dont use n7105 firmwares.. a both are different hardware wisely yet your imei corrupted now due to different modem in n7105 firmware...
Am still here, been trying to track down valid firmware images.
I believe my phone is a N7100. Somewhere in replacing ROMs in the past, I think I installed an Int'l N7105 TouchWiz ROM (Jedi-X) and stuck with that using a T-Mo modem file.
Found a stock 4.3 for my SGH-T889 T-Mobile GSM phone today. So, tried an install using JODIN, an open-source Odin app, but it didn't reboot the phone, so not sure if it took.
Going to install a Windows partition, load KIES and true ODIN and try again tomorrow. Will update then.
@motionmonk buddyy go to download mode(pres volume down +power+ home) and post screen shot of it..
