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?

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.
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 guys,
as from the title, my note 2 (XME) is semi-bricked.
I can't get into recovery, but download mode.
I tried to flash using different Odin versions, but none worked.
all of the versions report that NAND WRITE START Failed.
I have tried using other usb cables, computers, usb ports etc.
None worked.
what should I do?

I can now get into recovery but when I try to factory reset, it can't be formatted because
it cannot mount
Here are the messages:
E: failed to mount /cache (Block device required)
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0pl2
almost for sure SDS
Were you able to successfully flash a stock ROM in Odin? Did you try unchecking auto reboot and, after the successful flash, boot into stock recovery and try wiping?

I unticked the boxes you said, still the same result, NAND Write start failed. I think this note might be dead already...
Maybe try flashing with a pit file?
Hi fellas,
I'm having problems with my S4 mini duos (GT-I9192).
I'm having a bootloop all the time and can't get it turned on, I tried going into recovery mode and tried to wipe/factory reset but it says:

Applied the CSC-code: TTT

Tried to flash and official ROM from sammobile with odin v3.10.7 but still the same problem it bootloops all the time, tried also to flash TWRP but couldn't even flash it.
I would appreciate a little help.

I tried it, in odin it shows that passed but when I go into recovery boot it shows the original recovery and still the same result when I try to wipe/factory reset.
Have you flashed a different rom as well

Yeah maybe 4 or 5 roms from sammobile but still the same, someone says that the power switch is causing the bootloop but i'm sure that it isn't faulty, I have tried it with voltmeter and it is working properly. I can't even flash TWRP, Phliz or CWM.
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
