Hi folks,
I've done some searching and I *think* I've tried most stuff, but I'm guessing (and hoping) I've missed something and someone can help!
Euro P1000, previously running stock UK / Euro Gingerbread. Recently rooted using (if I recall), SuperOneClick.... didn't seem to finish correctly, but trying other stuff after appeared to show it rooted.
Tried to flash an ICS ROM this week, and managed to install GB Stock Safe v5, (and / or Overcome_7_Seriesv4.1.0_wipe) and it booted and went through setup process and ran fine. I then tried to flash MiUi ICS and I've not had a successful boot since.
I can get into recover, but with the following errors:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
But it appears to let me reflash Overcome, for instance, and it seems to complete, but I still get the same result: Boots to the b&w Samsung Galaxy Tab screen and stays there for evermore.
I can get into download mode, but Odin doesn't see it.
I have a card reader and can put stuff onto the microSD, and CWM appears to let me flash it, despite the mount errors.
Help anyone?
Bit more info... a Heimdall restock seems to run ok, showing "100% Param Upload Successful" etc., but reboots into CWM Recovery, still with the mount errors. If I try to re-partition the SD Card (internal, I presume), it appears to complete with no errors, but I still only get the B&W galaxy tab boot screen. However, after partitioning (says "Done!"), I still get the same errors. Screwed flash chips?
That's right, you lot stay quiet and I'll sort it out myself.
Well, after what seems to be doing the same thing, yet again (namely CWM, wiping everything in sight, and flashing overcome_7_Series_4.1.0_wipe, it's alive, with seemingly no issues.
So, was my problem related in any way to MiUi ROM? Should I be looking at something else?
BTW, this is a mate's tab (yes, I was sweating!!). Mine has CM9 RC1 on it, seems ok-ish, what's the latest and greatest version of this? And what did I do wrong and how do I not do it next time?
Will so many questions cost me?
I have simple questions for you.
When you flash miui, which one, us it an ICS miui by ronak.super, and mtd base ROM?
If so, did it flash completely? You need to flash twice any ICS tom from GB.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Yes, it was the ronak.super one.
Sorry, I'm either too noob or have forgotten all steps due to panic to remember the process in detail. Guessing the step before flashing Miui was GB_Stock_Safe_v5 or Overcome_7_Series_4.1.0, honestly don't recall what I did when. Fairly sure it was GB_stock_safe_v5, since the guide says to restock first.
BTW, what happened to Team Overcome?
Seems to be gone for good?
The right step is GB stock safe then overcome 4.0 kernel tar using Odin.
Then flash miui twice. Then gapps and reboot.
The fact that you still can flash overcome 4.1rom after failed miui, somehow your partition didn't get converted to mtd at all.
If that has happened, you would need restock to go back to overcome.
Cm9.1 has a stable released now if you want that.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
So, I have the tab back to overcome v4.0.0 #40 (stock safe?) and I'm thinking I'll flash Cyanogenmod 9.1. Do I need to do anything else in between, or can I just dowloaf and flash? Is it mtd, and if so, will it sort itself out or do I need to do something to convert?
Thanks again for your help.

Should be only cm9.1 ROM for p1 and gapps, nothing else.
Conversion is done by the updater.
remember to flash cm9.1 twice.

That sounds ominous, richuu, failure to mount /cache can mean the internal storage chip is going bad. Didi you solve it? Is it all right?
Yeah. How come you are here.

hi...
im done flashing cm10 but after trying partition sdcard my P1000 stuck at bootscreen...
in recovery i get this error:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
need some advise to my P1000.....flash GB_stock_safe_v5 could solve my problem?
thanks in advance
Sure looks like a broken internal storage to me, xT4Nx. It can be worked around though, look for the thread explaining how to run a Tab with external storage only.

Hi guys!
I was Rooting my phone, and everything was okay with my first steps, I got a Superuser app in my phone and the most important thing it was working. After I was looking for my new Rom for my phone, I thought the CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0-GalaxyICS-UNOFFICIAL-beta8 one should be fine.
I downloaded the beta 8 version, after I installed to my phone. The installation was succesful. But after my Phone wont boot.. I got these messages:
- Appling Multi-CSC --
E:failed to mount /system
(Invalid Argument)
Anyone..Pls Help me !

Its best that you install your stock rom and be happy with it. And yes, if u don't know, don't ever use rom manager. Its just not meant for galaxy ace.
right I flashed most of roms but now i am back to my custom stock rom with cm7 UI and i woudn't change it
Hi, sorry if i'm not posting in the correct section it's just that i can't find a section for the galaxy ace gt-5839i so this was the closest thing. The other day i rooted the gt-5839i and then decided i would be an idiot and atempted to install cwm4 and now the phone is stuck on the screen that displays the model number. I can boot into recovery but doing a data reset/wipe or wiping the cache or trying to install a new rom is not working at all, all it says is E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument) so i'm guessing i probably need to reflash an appropriate stock recovery (2.3.6) to fix this it's just that i can't find one and don't know which i should try if anyone could help me out on this one i would be extremely greatful as at the moment the phone useless, thanks.
first, download your stock firmware from samfirmware.com
then download odin, and learn how to use that

ok, it seems that u now have emmc bug, while restoring ur backup so I think u were in stock kernel, but you are lucky that your phone is opening, so you think I have to repetition your phone, but before you do that you can try to flash stock gb with PC Odin, if it fails, so the repartition method is your only way.

you have already a corrupted partition.. tantamount you will getting that brick bug anytime soon... like what the other fellow sad, the only method you need to go is thru the pit file method to revive your Note - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
Hi all, posting my saga here if it would help someone, maybe you can comment or help. Here's the info and steps I've taken:
Info:
Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 7.0" (AT&T) running stock Froyo
Model: SGH-I987 (aka GSM Galaxy Tab - P1000, T-Mobile SGH-T849)
Baseband: I987UCJK1
Steps Taken:
Rooted using SuperOnceClick - successful
Installed SGT-Bootloader-Patch-v1.00.apk, reported that I was safe, however I still cannot install unsigned zips…
To get around 3e recovery, I decided to flash a custom rom with cwm recovery built in. This is where things started to go downhill
I installed an overcome kernel which I thought would give me cwm recovery, however instead I got the thin white line on the right hand side and the robotic voice. Couldn't get to recovery
After the robotic voice I installed JJ4 bootloaders which got me a different splash screen, but at least it was booting now, still no recovery though
I think at some point I may have repartitioned as well
Then I tried a cyanogenmod install, things started to pickup because I got cwm recovery working, but the ROM install failed with an assert failure getprop("ro.product.device") … I assume this is because the device is actually and SGH-I987 but the rom is for a P1000. I deleted the assert from the install script in the zip file, however the install still fails, can't get past recovery.
The latest attempt this morning, I followed the instructions here "How to unbrick your galaxy tab" I downloaded the firmware from sammobile (Tablet, android, GT-P1000, UK / IRELAND, P1000XWJP9_P1000XXJPZ_P1000XEUKP1_HOME.tar) plus the Odin zip file containing the P1_add_hidden.pit file for repartition. Everything goes well in Odin however after reboot I have (see text and pictures below.)
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E:install_application_for_customer: Can't mount /data
Your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions. copy application failed.
When I reboot out of recovery, I get put into the glowing Samsung animation, which appears to blink, freeze then restart in an endless loop, I've let it run for sometime now, seems no end to it (see picture below)
I thinking I may have hosed my internal SD, but I'm not sure? Any advice to get this thing back running appreciated. My goal is to install Cyanogenmod 9 on it. Thanks.
Use overcome method, meaning you must do gb stock save v5 before overcome kernel.

Download Odin version 1.85 and put that on your computer. Download the stock rom for your device from sammobil.com. Extract the .tar.md5 file from that using 7-zip. From Odin, plug your phone in using the USB cable while your in download mode on the phone. in PDA in Odin find the md5 file. Flash that. It'll return your phone to like new condition. You'll lose anything stored on it so make sure you back up your phone first.

It really depends on the problem.
There are a small percentage of people that has broken/degraded internal memory chip (NAND chip).
For those, there are threads dealing with removing the chip or modifying ROMs to run on external SD card entirely.
So I've tried to get this to work all day, but I can't get through the CyanogenMod splash screen.
I'm a complete newbie btw. I did have a custom room on my htc desire back in the day, but did nothing with my last previous galaxy nexus.
Anyway, I'll try to provide you with as much info as possible, so you can better can help me if you would be so kind.
So I followed some tutorial I found. Downloaded the latest version of CyanogenMod + Gapps.
Made the fastboot folder in c:, unzipped boot.img from the Cyan thing I downloaded. Wrote what I was supposed to in command prompt, but only got <waiting for device>. Put the zip-files in the internal memory. Went into recovery using the CWM v.6.0.3.1. Wiped and flashed. Only got to the Free Xperia screen. Wiped and flashed again. Now I'm at the CyanogenMod splash.
The recovery says:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
Don't know if that got anything to do with it.
Now I don't know what to do. I'm actually pretty sick of this now and just want to go back to stock Sony again, but I can't -_-
Is it possible to make this thing work again? I'm about to throw it out the window and just buy a new one, haha -_-
Any help would be much appreciated.

When I go to the *#*#73784blahblah... it says bootloader unlocked: yes.
I think I figured it out though. May have been the CWM version. I'll try again today.

I figured the CWM I was running had this in the thread:
[ known issues ]
1. USB storage doesnt mount in recovery (can be fixed, i think)
2. do not use this for flashing CM10.1 (u will need to use the CM kernel for that)
