Hi,
I'm a newbee around here and I would really appreciate if someone could help me on this.
My GT-I9070 was fully functional till yesterday. I've been running CM10.2. Yesterday I tried to change the Kernal to Co-Core 8.2. I deeply regret doing that because I didn't had enough knowledge on how to change kernals. What I did was copied the Co-Core zip file to sdcard and applied it via CWM. After that, my phone restarted and it was stuck on the CM boot screen. I got mad and flashed the phone to stock 4.1.2 using ODIN. Then the setup wizard showed up and it kept on crashing giving me toasts, "gapps not working" and "setup wizard has unfortunately stopped".
I then went to stock recovery mode and the log said,
E:failed to mount /efs (No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount efs (Invalid argument)
Applying Multi CSC..
E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
E:multi_csc:Can't mount /efs Multi csc applied failed
I searched on n number of threads here in XDA about this problem and read in one thread that IMEI could've corrupted.
Then using ODIN, I flashed my mob to stock GB 2.3.6 with DDLD4 baseband. Then everything worked perfect. Phone booted up and was working perfect. But then I tried to update the phone to 4.1.2 via KIES, the KIES said "This phone can't be upgraded".
I again flashed 4.1.2 using ODIN, again it said gapps and setup wizard unfortunately stopped. I tried installing CM10.1, CM10.2, MIUI but in all cases, it got stuck on the bootscreen of each ROM. I flashed back to stock GB again and phone is working perfect now. When I go to "about phone", IMEI is showing with no error. It is the same IMEI which the phone had when it was bought. But when I go into recovery mode, it still says "/efs can't be mount". What could be the possible reason for this? How I can I fix this? Is there anyway for me to install the CM ROM again and successfully keep it up and running?

i got that problem too. you should flash your .pit file and check repartition in odin.

Are you saying I have to flash pit file alone? Or do a full flash of GB with repartition checked?
While flashing JB, I didn't used any pit file. Just used the .tar file which was selected under PDA of ODIN.
Any idea if checking repartition while flashing JB would work?
I'm currently running GB 2.3.6 baseband version DXLD1. And I've got 2 pit files one for 8GB which I got from the DXLD1 package I downloaded and one 16 GB which I downloaded separately.

No... you should flash pit file with the .tar.md5 file.
repartition will work on either GB or JB.
if you have the 8gb version you should use the 8gb .pit file and use the 16 gb .pit file if you have the 16gb version.

My phone is the 16 GB version. I'm having some weird doubts. I beg your pardon if I'm asking noob questions but I need to know them.
Ok, so here's how I flashed JB 4.1.2
In the JB package I downloaded, ther was only .tar file and nothing else. The baseband version is DDULP8. So everytime I flashed JB, I did with .tar file alone and no pit file.
Now, whenever I flashed back to GB 2.3.6, I flashed by selecting three files in the DXLD1 download package. PDA file, CSC file and an 8GB pit file. I flashed with these files at the first place and the phone boots up, works well. But the internal storage is shown as 3.91 GB. To solve this, I downloaded a separate 16GB pit file and flashed the phone by just selecting the 16GB pit file. After I rebooted my phone, it shows 11.1 GB internal storage.
My doubt is, do I need to select the 16GB pit file and check repartition while flashing JB 4.1.2?
Or just check repartition and flash with .tar file alone?!
Didn't solved

i didn't have any backup and the imei is ok
just try it from 1-10
1) If you are with a Gingerbread rom, first have to migrate to a Jelly Bean
2) Now that you're with Jelly Bean, download the CWM Temporary, extract the files to a folder of your choice and move to your memory card.
3) Unplug the device and plug it into recovery mode
volume p / up + home + power
4) Select using the volume button the option "Apply update from external storage" and press the power
5) It will open a list with several folders and files, now navigate to the "CWM.zip" and press power again
6) It started to install and the phone screen goes all hazy, wait 5 seconds, press HOME and wait about 3 seconds will open the CWM version in "Touch"
7) Select "Wipe Cache"
8) Now select "advanced", then select "fix permissions"
9) Select "reboot system", a counter appears never ending, this time take out the battery and restart the device in recovery mode
10) The error message should no longer appear, now just install the Stock ROM Jelly Bean desired.

I have a SGS with firmware I9000XWJG5 and Root. I tried to do a Speed fix, but afterwards it was slower so i tried to flash the phone with the I9000XWJG5 firmware again.
After the flash, the phone rebooted and i came to the recovery menu. There the phone wrote:
update media, please wait
and in the next lines:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
Now when i try do start the phone, i get a black screen after the bright S
What i have tried: Flash agein with and without re-partition and Factory Reset
Has anybody an idea what i can do?
and sorry for my bad english
bump. can anyone help with this topic..
i am having some problem..
help us guys
thanks
Fixed... use odin 512
Thread moved in Galaxy S I9000 General.
I can definately help with this one, as I worked through it last night...
I found that if you're trying to flash the JG5 rom (as mentioned in Modaco's thread) with the 513 Pit file, then you'll get the black screen of despair!! For some reason the two combination of the two don't work.
However, if you do a google search for Odin PIT 512, then download this file
You will be able to download the 512 PIT file instead. Now use this in Odin3 to flash the JG5 rom and you should have no further issues....it worked for me.
I also discovered that Samsung have just released a later firmware, so I just flashed this one on top of the JG5 one...I have a nicely running phone now.
Hope this helps...it did me!
Mike
Mine was completely knackered. Couldn't get to recovery either. Flashed Modaco's MCR R3, after the JG5 flash, using all the files in the JG5 download. Working a treat...
Cheers,
BS...

Same here.
I tried JS3 and going back to JP6....and always the same result.
I'm obviously missing something. Maybe my 512.PIT is corrupted. I get the black screen and the same /dev/block.st110 errors in recovery.
i beleive you need to have a CSC file also for the odin flash.
i sorted mine like this:
Downloaded some JP2 odin files [used this as this was the only one on Samsung-firmwares that had all 3 PDA, Modem and CSC Files. flashed this using a .512 pit in odin. - this allowed the phone to boot normally.
connected to Kies and using reg hack [set to XEU] managed to update to JPY.
the following the Darky guide, flashed the CF Root kernel, installed the ROM Manager from the market, using the recovery mode installed the update.zip file for clockworkMod.
Formatted everything in ClockworkMod
Factory Reset in ClockworkMod
Installed Darky ROM V8.0 Wipe
thanks for your find !

fix for black screen after flash with no recover or download mode working.
Hey All.
So like the subject says, you flash and then your phone restarts or whatever, and then you get the normal galaxy s startup, with the sound and the visuals, but then that's it. Henceforth you are greeted with the two lights (if its a Bell Vibrant) from your options and back keys.
To fix it use the attached file. Its called ADB or something - I just know it works. It was a fix for the galaxy s phones that didnt have the recovery/download mode stock.
so here is how it goes:
1. download adb to your desktop and unpack it (if its in winrar or zip or whatever) to a file folder named adb.
2. open a command prompt.
3. type "cd" and then the address of the "adb" folder. so for example it should be in C:\Users\your user name\Desktop\adb. where "your user name" is your user name a duh.
4. plug in your galaxy s via usb.
5. type "adb reboot download" in the command prompt. copy it using your mouse as well.
6. turn on your phone.
7. press enter in the command prompt, then keep copying and pasting and pressing enter until you see the download screen on your phone. each time you press enter it says device not connected or something but just keep trying.
the article i read:
can't post it but the thread is called "How to get the 3 button recovery mode working"
Credit to Goots from samsung galaxy s forums. Go Goots!
Hi, i have just updated my galaxy s to the latest gingerbread rom using odin 1.7 and all was ok with that bit. But when the phone rebooted i got an error saying UIDs on the system are inconsistant, you need to wip your data partiton or your device will be unstable. i click the im feeling lucky button and it goes in to gmail process stopped unexpectedly force close, my uploads is the same as well. and if i try to run any app its does the same. Even the setup wizard forces close when i try and set it up the it goes in to a reboot loop. i have tried to factory reset by tiping in the number on the dail pad and going in to recovery mode all to no avail. i have tried reflashin with older roms eg 2.1 2.2 but this makes it worse. has anyone got any clues to help me????
Thanks

Here is a 3 file 2.1 rom if you want to try it.
It's DTJG4 which is an Australian eclair build, but may get you out of trouble.
Flash it with a 512 pit and re-partition as previously suggested.

What about EFS.....
Odin 1.7 is the wrong flashing program for the i9000 you should be using v1.0, 1.3 or 1.8.
The numerous versions of odin are version specific and you need to be using the correct one for your phone type.

Hi there,
i've a problem with my galaxy s. whatever i do it will not boot i tried several roms and flash these with odin but nothing seems to work.
Till today i only saw a icon like when you're loading a movie, today i flashed another file and now i only see the battery.
After flashing this file (I9000DDJG4) he showed a screen equal to when you install a rom by choosing it in recovery mode.
the only thing i can get in is download mode(sometimes with the 3bc, other time with a home made jig), odin reconize it and flashing will be fine till he must boot.
before i repaired 2 other galaxy S phones without any problems but this is a hard one.
anyone with the same problem or a solution for this? i really don't know what to do now.
(if my english is a little poor, excuse me i'm just a stupid dutchman )
Do you have a charged battery?
When you start the phone the first time after uploading rom, it may take longer than usual.
The I9000DDJG4 rom is quiet old, isn't it?
How did you flashed that with odin?
I found a link. Perhabs it helps to solve your problem.
go into download mode use odin and installa a stock ROM remember to put re-partion when you install with PIT512, CODE MODEM CSS. then go from there.
Like karo1981 said check your battery and it will take longer the frist boot.
Try JW1 stock rom it's fresh and stable
Wow! thank you all for the quick responds.
I flash with the 3 files and re-partition is checked, battery is full, ig got another SGS where i can check or charge the battery.
I know the I9000DDJG4 is older but i had to try something.
i also tried to flash the XWJPA, XENJV4, XXJP2 and XJWS7.
The problem is i got this phone while it was broken allready, but somehow there must be a way make it work.
i know the first boot will take longer, but it dont even show the S logo or somthing, it stays stucked at a screen what looks like he' s loading a video.
Already tried flashing a rom that comes with 5 files (BootLoader, CSC, PDA, Modem) and .pit file, for example I download the JVZ and came with those 5 files

I only have tried flashing with 4 files (CSC PDA MODEM and the PIP) i don't know where i can find that other 5th file, and if so where should i put it in odin?
there's a little progress over here, after flashing the DDJG4 again it reboots in recovery, but its a bleu screen with only 4 options (Reboot sys now, apply update.zip, wipe data/fact.reset and wipe cash) whatever i try it will not work
on the bottom there's a error:
**
E:Can't find mount /dev/block/stl10
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:can't mount DBDATA:

there is no update.zip on the sdcard, but is there a way to mount it for use ad usb device so i can coppie CWM to my phone?
find an other bootloader to flash it with odin it should be a *.tga-file. gingerbread bootloader should be fine. with this you have the "install zip from sd-card" option in your recovery.
maybe its a solution, but its a step further.
you have to flash a kernel like semaphore before flashing your rom
Generally this solve your issue

first time i hear that.
normally you flash the ROM and THEN the kernel, why would you flash the other way round, makes no sence.
if you flash a ROM you overwrite the kernel-settings, because a kernel changes files in the system.
kernel -> ROM -> no effect
ROM -> Kernel -> effect
Well, the option apply update.zit is in the recovery, but there is no file update.zip on the sd card.
I tried different roms and kernels but nothing seems to work, i like know how i can flash a new bootloader maybe that will help.

Hi friends ,
I am using Samsung S Advance since last eight month, Till now i have flash more than 300 nightly and custom roms over my mobile and evry time i succeeded, but two days back when i got stuck in omnirom I use ODIN to Flash Stock JB . My Phone Boot After that And got stuck on initial setting wizard everytime i try to pass that it shows
unfortunately samsung setting wizard stopped , so i can not pass that point ,
So i flash stock firmware again and again but everytime same problem
Then I reboot in Recovery which show message " fail to mount efs( invalid argument)
I ignore it and Start Recovery again and root my mobile using update.zip(which is temporary recovery) and then flash cocore kernel And try to restore my backup( I have 6 different rom backup , i tried them all) but every rom got stuck in bootloop .
Then I try to Flash CM10.2 but that also didn't work
Then I Flash some custom rom like sami-os and galexperia which are based on stock firmware and they start working but those roms are freezing a lot, When i try to install any software in those rom they says insufficient memory , I Check storage and it shows
"DEVICE MEMORY 0.00B"
Everytime I reboot all user data get wiped and evrytime setting wizard appear like first boot
I have tried to mount efs, data, ,system via cwm . There is error to mount efs via cwm . I mount data, system successfully but after every reboot they are unmounted.
So Made some search and finally decide to repartition via odin using PIT file given somewhere in this forum but odin shows "fail"
My Friend suggest me to revert back to gb but i couldn't find Indian firmware ( All sites give link to hotfile page which is banned), so i followed post in xda about downgrading from JB to GB and try to flash PIT, PDA , CSC file given by OP via odin but it fails everytime .
So again I flash JB via odin but same result( Got stuck in setting wizard)
So I Tried to root again using update.zip(which i mentioned earlier and which works for me everytime in past) but it switched off during update in recovery so now i can not start cwm now and can use only stock recovery and unable to flash custom rom.
I have Given All Details about how problem start and here is summary of all problems
1. fail to mount efs(invalid argument)
2. 0.0b internal memory
3. unable to repartition using ODIN
4. user data deleted on every boot and boot as first boot
5. can not pass setup wizard in stock firmware after flashing stock via Odin
I think i have messed up with internal memory and which is causing problem or my recovery is damaged.
please give me solution .
If any one have INDIAN GB firmware with pit, csc , pda, bootloader please upload and give link , i searched everywhere no link is working.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I have successfully downgrade to GB and 0.0b internal memory problem is solved , for detail read 7th post
But still FACING " efs error" and unable to upgrade to jb
Every time i flash jb with odin it get stuck in start up in setting wizard with message " process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and then " setting wizard stopped"
please help me to solve this
Any one need to know how i solved my problem of 0.0mb and downgrade GB he can read post and even PM me.

If your phone is I9070 and not I9070P then use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195673
After that you can use your country GB. We all downgrade this way, and after that use any other firmware.

is your baseband working ok? I had a similar problem when flashing a rom, couldn't get out of setup wizard and also my baseband was XXXX as soon as i fixed the baseband and re-flashed the problem was gone, here is how:
I've flashed modemfs.img.md5 now 3G is working.
On another device (same model and region) I did:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5
Copied generated file to my sdcard and did:
dd if=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Reboot and it's done.

#1# I have a Samsung A6 Tab [SM-T580 Series] and unfortunately i installed a wrong custom recovery with Odin, because i forgot looking and the number.
Afterwards my Tab bricked. Download mode is still operational!
#2# The best advice i could find afterwards was to install a stock rom.
However i can't find either the correct stock rom or the correct twrp.tar.
#3# The problem arrived after i renamed twrp.tar to recovery.tar, because flashing or installing by first trying didn't work.
The XDA-Link to supported devices shows me only TWRP for A 10.1, A 9.7 and A8. That's why i am in a state of desperation.
My Questions so far are: Would replacing recovery.tar with the correct custom recovery or the original recovery by using Odin unbrick the Tab?
If not, where i may find the correct stock rom?

flashing stock mostly solve problems. i don't know what you type during searching, but when i googling "SM-T580" there r so many sites provide your firmware (sammobile, samsung-firmware.org). From MM (6) until android 7 and 7.1 available and you unable to find it?
top brand like sams*ng it is not hard to find any firmware or whatever related to i think
Thanks for answering, you are right. Sammobile has the firmware i need. I found it. However, i still would like to know if an official TWRP exists for my device, just for the future, if i would need the possibility to backup or restore files.

go here and check if your device TWRP officially supported.

Before flashing Stock Rom i extracted revocery.img from AP and converted it to recovery.tar without compressing and tried to solve the problem this way, re-flashing original recovery, but it failed.
So i tried it again and installed the newest version of Odin and in the second try i flashed AP, BL, and CSC.
Odin allows me to pass the full flashing process with no error.
But after the reset the tablet stucks in a loop of system updating and stops at 32%.
Notes in the download mode are "FRP-unlock: off" and "System: Custom" changed to "System: Offical. "
The red line "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" vanished.
However it still says "Recovery: Custom" in the download mode and this shouldn't be possible after flashing Stock Rom.
At this moment the following errors appear.
No Support SINGLE_SKU
Supported API: 3
E: failed to mount/efs (invalid argument)
dm-verity error...
E: failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_kernel_manual
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_kernel_manual
E: failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_locale
Does this mean the partitions are damaged?
The only advices i found on google were, to flash with re-partitioning and to find the pit file. But i am afraid this would make it worse. Should i go to a repair service center or is it possible to still fix it?
If you download the stock firmware and flash the whole rom via odin and look in i believe is ap or csc.tar you should find the pit file extract it via 7zip or other alternative and load it with the pit selector in odin and reflash stock rom including the bl,ap,cp,csc and you should have a fully booting A6

Ok, i found the pit-file in CSC, but a CP file doesn't exist for SMT-580 Wi-Fi as far as i know.
I assume that i need to flash with re-partitioning and that i need to get sure the pit-file is for a 16 GB device.
But will this really solve my "[invalid argument]-issue"???

yes theoretically it should solve all your issues and you should be able to reboot the device

Ok, flashing with Odin works, showing me no error, but i am still stucked in a bootloop. If i try to get in to the recovery mode it tells me, that it installs the update.
It does that, until it reaches 32%. I have tried flashing the stockrom with re-partitioning and the pit-file. Didn't work. Next thing i tried was to start Odin as Admin and with a newer version of the firmware. Didn't work. What changed is that "Current Binary: Custom" to "Current Binary: Samsung Official".
System Status is still: "Custom".
It still refuses to mount the system or to get to 100%, so that i could see the recovery mode with all it's options.
Could it be, that the CPU or the Memory is damaged?
Try to flash twrp then wipe factory data eeset and format data then flash stock again and see if that helps you boot to stock
