Guys I for a sec thought my phone was haunted!!
Steps I followed-
Was on Simplicity(tried from SURFACE too) Rom, did not wipe anything.. just went to download mode from Power menu Options.
Download JVZ base from SamMobile.
Flash via Odin.(YES, repartition was ticked)
Wait for it to reboot.
Then I see 4-5 things giving force close, and the worst part was that all the previous apps including Superuser were still there all forceclosing.. !!!
The same happened all times (4)...
Did anybody face the same problem? Is there a solution or something?
After flashing a new ROM (no matter what ROM) you have to do a Factory Reset and install your Apps from scrach. This is the best solution.
But you try first with few hope to delete Cache and Davlik from CWM Recovery Menu. If it wont work, try factory reset. Back-up your files becouse it will delete them all.

Agree with this, if not you might find alot of your apps will keep force closing
Guys did u understand the situation first of all? What are u telling?
I am telling here that Odin wipes every partition and all apps are removed if u flash a ROM through ODIN but when I flashed JVZ through Odin, it actually didn't wipe anything surprisingly!!
Apps were still there and fc-ing..

Man, calm down a bit, will you?
I've flashed Odin ROMs many times, and I can tell you that not every time you flash (even with repartition enabled) your phone will be completely wiped.
But then, as stated before, you should do a factory reset. Is it so difficult to go to settings>backup and restore>reset factory data? I don't think so.
Bye!
I did go back to GB and i updated to newest GB nordic and i had my phone like that in hours without root or anything...and just like that i couldnt make call and when i went to setting it says baseband "unknown" so i asked around and ppl said wipe would fix the problem, when i made the wipe i got this error " E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument) " so i was thinkin maybe ill make a new flash in odin and i did that after that i couldnt start the phone, its turning on but i get only on samsung logo, i can go to download mode or CWM and i can use adb from pc to the phone but i cant do anything..so i check DATAFS and tested it and its corrupted, it goes to 5 % and then its stops.
So what can i do ? Please help..
wrong threads mate...this is devt...
wrong thread n you will not get answer here
It sounds like your EFS is corrupted, Do you by any chance have a back up of it ?
Check your IMEI number, I assume it will be Samsung generic 0044xxxxxxxxxxx something like that.
This happened to me a few times on the SGS1. I tried flashing GB via ODIN, with EFS clear ticked, It worked for me but i would advise you not to do this unless you have no other solutions.
When i check my IMEI *#06# then i dont get any IMEI, its empty and now when i try to flash gb stock or ICS then i cant start the phone..i get only to logo and when i try to wipe its gettin freezed
So is the phone booting at the moment ? Can you access recovery by any chance ?
Flashing a clean stock ODIN firmware usually fixes this issue.

I can access download mode and "CMW" without a problem and i can use the adb too but then i cant do anything else
ok, You definitely dont have an efs backup on your sd card or PC anywhere ? I have one on mine, I didnt create it, Some ROM or kernel created it but i cant recall which one.

No sorry i dont have the efs backuped up, im new on this, everything happened without any reason, i didnt do anything...but i think the data is corrupted too cuz i cant do anything, i mean before i did the first time wipe i could go in the phone but i couldnt make call but now i cant do anything then download mode, recovery mode.
Ok, Well try this:
Go into CWM recovery, Wipe Cache partition and Dalvik Cache, DO NOT DO A FULL WIPE UNLESS YOUR KERNEL IS SAFE
then,
Flash stock GB via odin, After the flash, Reboot into recovery (will be stock android recovery) and do a full factory reset.
Then reboot, The phone should boot up normally, and hopefully EFS will be restored. If the phone doesnt boot, We can explore some other options.
The EFS corruption wont be preventing the phone from booting.

Thanks ill try that and ill come back to u again, one question where can i get the fixed .pit files? cuz i had before mmc problem and i need special .pit files that someone modded here.. dont remember the link..do u ?
So your note is bricked ? or do you just think it could be ?
The pit files are on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
Only use them if you need to and are 100% sure your phone is bricked

This brick thing was long time ago and i fixed it with flashing pit...now after 3-4 week this happened with the radio but i was on stock GB nordic and didnt have root or anything and that happened...
Edit: btw can u give me safe KERNEL
Hmm i cant format /data, its gettin freezed.
Edit: now it says data wipe complete but it still get freezed, do you think i got problems with my /data ?
Right ok, Well Im not sure how flashing the pit files work, Luckily ive never had this issue, I assume you will flash them via ODIN combined with a firmware too ?
If thats the case, use GB as its always a safe option to go back to.
Or, I heard somewhere, that you could flash the NON patched pit files and this will put your phone back into the bricked state, Then you could send it out for warranty.
Anyway, this is the end of the line for me, I dont know what to do next im afraid But let me know how you get on

When i made wipe in recovery mode, the phone got freezed but then it said its complete and it took time then i clicked to restart and now it take time to restart...i get to the samsung galaxy note gt n7000 and it get freezed for a bit then the phone restart again
Im confused, Is this happening before or after you flashed the patched pit files ?
Look here for a reference http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12
Is there a way to remove the counts in adb or cmw or something if there is then i can go to service and go with my garanti.

ive flashed with odin with stock and pit and the phone complete it and then after when it starts i get errors IU something...i do wipe and it freeze a bit then it complete then i reboot the phone and it gets freezed to logo
right i see,
So the phone is now completely stock right ? Including stock recovery also ?
if so, You can use a USB JIG to remove the yellow triangle and binary count, Thus resulting in a clean stock faulty phone of which you should get fixed under warranty.
Here's the guide on removing the binary count and triangle, you can make your own jig or buy one online. http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...vuz_Bg&usg=AFQjCNE_p2cZdwEpNAhP2QNPUyFYWAfmzQ
However Flashing stock firmware should have reset the binary count and removed the triangle.
Hi there I have just got a i9305 from someone on ebay and I am thinking should I do more than a factory reset. I.e. root it etc... or do you guys think it is 'safe' to just factory reset it? As in could someone stick some dodgy software on it that does not get wiped by factory reset? Thanks! :good:
Just factory reset it's ok if he has original soft.

Yer its the stock I think. Just noticed his google account is still on it . Not sure if hes stupid or trying to steal some info if I were to not factory reset hmmm.
You can delete his account without factory reset.

Oh man but its been a year since I did all that type of thing - was hoping a factory reset was enough :S.
Just done a checkmend and its totally clean and still in warranty - all checks out. I am tempted to just go with the factory reset and sd card wipe -surely nothing will be left?

Yes your choice .
Point to note Samsung may not extend their limited warranty to a second user .
I was surprised that after flashing stock ROM by ODIN, phone was not cleaned from the user data.
I mean: account settings, applications installed by user, etc.
I know that flashing dont erase data from internal/external SD card, but why all data was still exist?
Only Wipe Data / Factory Reset will erase all user data?
Btw, Merry Xmas

Nope, factory reset will not erase all user data. Go into setting/storage and delete from there (not sure cause I didn't have the device now). If you want to erase using odin, tick the repartition box while flashing the firmware. This is the easiest way I think.
Odin flash doesn't wipe user apps and their data, but it may cause bugs if you come from another ROM...
E.g : if u soft bricked on stock JB, just odin flash is necessary.
for other ROMs, it may or may not lag.
I will describe my way.
I tried to install CM 10.2
I did factory reset, next steps follow procedure.
When I did first start, unfortunately keyboard stop working, so my cyjanogen install failed and I decided back to old system using backup.
After restore and start, phone required settings like on first start after factory reset.
Lol, big surprise.
Ok, I entered necessary information but after reset -
again same like after factory reset
I tried from another backup with same result.
Hmm, big mess.
So I flash stock ROM by Odin.
And new surprise - phone with fresh system and all my own settings and applications from last restore.
Two disappointments:
1. Restore from backup does not cause a return to the initial state.
2. Flash ROM by Odin don't make factory state of phone.
I have question, if format partitions: system and data and next restore backup will do real state phone on this backup?

1. Almost every restore from backup for me it returned phone on state when backup was made. Only if my backup was bad (did not have enough place on sd for backup or something corrupted it).
2. Flashing stock ROM by Odin do not touch data partition (or folder whatever it is). So if you want to erase that, you need to make factory reset. It is like that on every Samsung Android device - I am not sure for other, never used.
When you come back from any CM10.2, Omni 4.3 and CM11 based ROM - first flash stock with Odin, do factory reset - and after that restore backup (ofcourse first root, install CoCore kernel for CWM before restore - you can't use restore in stock recovery).
Tnx for answers.
This is weird that format system partition not enough to get rid of the CM
But I checked this again and exactly after refresh ROM by Odin - restore my settings and data works fine.
Hmm imo this is mess in whole Android system

Explanation for that, TeamJanica used preload partition for swap, and it is patitioned in other format than the one stock ROM use. That partition is not used on CM for files, but it has it's use on stock based ROM.

supposedly you have downloaded the stock FW, flash via Odin with re-partition ticked. if it fails, extract the PIT file from CSC_OMC_OXM_XXX save it in a location and load it at the pit session via Odin the re-flash again with re-partition ticked.
HI all,
Today I decide to update my i9305t to the 4.3 rom. I unrooted my phone and reset the custom counter and all was good. I flashed the telstra rom and all was good. Because of the locked dock Icons I thought I would flash a different unbranded rom. During the installation (via odin) it went skew if and froze. It sat there for ages but I ended up having to do a battery pull.
When I went to the download menu on the phone, knox had been tripped and there was 47 instances. Any way I reflashed the telstra firmware. It passed but now the phone gets stuck on the Samsung logo.
OK now I have already.....
Pulled the battery.
Removed all cards sim and sd.
Restored different firmwares.
factory reset, clear cahce etc.
Installed custom recovery and cleared devalk cache.
Googled for similar events.
Nothing I have read has worked.
I cant think of what else to do. When I restore a firmware via odin everything is OK, it passes but on the reboot it just stops at Samsung logo and goes no further.
I gather that because the phone can still get into recovery and download mode there must be something can sort this out.
Thanks in advance.
flash the original firmware from samsung.....the 4.3 since you updated it...
after it finishes and reboots it will enter a boot loop....IT'S NORMAL.....pull out the battery and start the phone in recovery mode(stock one) and do a wipe data - factory reset and wipe cache partition...it should work without a problem...did this many times...
after you updated to 4.3 you should have done a full wipe...

Yeah I have done that. I have tried it about 10 times. Im going to give it another bash today as I am stuck using my wife's old Iphone and its horrendous.
try installing your firmware with a .PIT file and check repartition box...search for the pit file....
if this doesn't work i suggest going to local repair shop and let them have a look...
maybe something got broke when you flashed the unbranded firmware...

Thanks for the info. Im unsure what a PIT file is. Are they phone specific or just model specific.

Well I was in the same pickle
whicever 4.3 rom i flashed through odin i got stuck in boot logo or even if i recovered device from odin through emergency frimware and intillation
Also tried customs 4.3 roms stuck a boot logo
Here what u should try and what i did
1 flash philz recovery + 4.1.2 rom
if it works back up efs
2 Using Philz recovery wipe data factory reset + wipe cache + dalvik cache
3 in mount and storage section format everything ( THINK THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP )
4 Used odin to flash a 4.3 stock package it worked ( note u may get knox from this u may try a modifed stock package if u dont have knox and dont want to get it )

Knox was tripped when the firmware install crashed. So knox tripping is no issue. Thanks for the information. I will have a go tommorrow.
I did manage to restore a cm9 backup but my IMEI is now gone and I cant get to the menu to restore my back up. Seems like Samsung has done a number on my phone. In all the years ive been fingering phones with custom firmware and modding I have never had anything stuff up this bad. Its rather amusing that it has happened flashing a stock rom that belongs to my phone.

It happened to me once, i found that 4.3 won't boot if baseband and imei are unknown. when you were trying to flash with odin and your phone got stuck it probably has damaged or ( erased ) your imei partition. try flashing 4.1.1 ( the package file without bootloader files ) it will definitely work for you. the reason is simple , Samsung's stock 4.3 never boots if the imei is corrupt or unknown (baseband is then usually too ) so, flash 4.1.1 , root your phone and install Persus kernel +any modem / baseband file, this is the only solution as i dont know how but does repair your imei , but you will be stuck at 4.1.1.
