i am now using the ZSJPG 2.2.1 version.
i use this version for few weeks already and there is no problem...
but yesterday i failed to turn it on and it stayed in "S" logo and vibrated....
so far i know 3 ways to solve this...factory reset, flash a rom or flash the original kernel...
but i want to keep my data and files!! which one is better??
thanks to everyone!
many thanks!!
I too have a similar problem ! I tried re-flashing. it doesn't help. When I go into recovery mode, It says " update media, please wait E:cant mount /dev/block/stl10 ( invalid argument) E:copy_dbdata_media : Can't mount DBDATA :
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed. "

you mean you failed in both re-flashing rom and kernel??
Now it works.. Peculiar!
I was on I9000XWJV1 .. wanted to go back to I9000XWJS8. Tried JPY as well .. Was having the above mentioned problem. Now I flashed it again with JV1, now it works fine.
Could someone explain this ?

You do not need to remove any partitions... Just flash stock rom, and try again... Same happened to me, i couldnt mount any partition in recovery, now it fine

I have tryed to flash many roms, 2.2.1 2.3.1 2.3.5 .2.3.6, (JVT, JVR, LPY, and new ones) always same issue: "E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument) and then bootlooping.
I`m sure my mmcblk0p2 is broken, question is how to force delete this partition or flash rom in to external SDcard!

Well you cant flash roms onto sdcard... But if your partition is broken, then sorry but im a noob
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Have you tired using a pit file?
flash a stock rom from samfirmware.com with ODIN.(eg. jw5)
to extract the password is "samfirmware.com"
tick repartition and use 512 pit file(included in rom from samfirmware).
check youtube for "flash with odin" if u dont know how.
edit:u are trying to flash from from samsungs 3 recovery.u need cwm(clockworkmod) to flash.
go to CF-ROOT(for i-9000) thread and follow instructions and read all in the OP(1-2-3 posts)
again u need ODIN to flash it.
hey
there is the best wasy to do that...just go to sammobile.com
there sign up first and then download the firmware (in firmware tab) and flash-programs...
the make sure to use oidn3_v1.0 only...
you can also download the flash-guide if you need it...
its simple..:laugh:
Thanks to everyone for replays, but nothing helped me x_x
if i flash 2.2.1 or 2.3.6 i receiving this error:
https://www.box.com/s/4d4b108a0246f9f56c7c
If i flash 2.3.3 or 2.3.4:
https://www.box.com/s/f09fd945620c03daffa9
And then it keep showing me GT 9000 logo......
yes i used 512pit and using 1.82 odin
I know there is way to install in to external SDcard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdMhYYdMB08
I had such error and successfully installed rom in to sdcard but i had issue with phone signal, so tried to re install rom and now its keep teling me cant mount data..
What can i do?

Yep, keep shows only gt-9000 logo..
I had a very similar problem earlier this year.
From what I could see the partitions on the phone's internal storage weren't able to be accessed. In adb I tried using parted and rm but the partitions there (/dev/block/mmc/blk0) didn't ever change. I also tried various .pit files and Android versions through Odin but nothing worked.
I took my phone in for repairs after flashing a really old version; as close as possible to what it came with, and they fixed it. The repair was due to 'mechanical fatigue' according to them. I assumed the internal storage was some how broken or corrupted and couldn't be written to.
Not sure, if you manage to solve this.
From you screenshots I can see you are using 3e recovery. I would suggest you to flash a kernel which support cwm recovery mode.
I have heard peoples getting this error while using it on 3e.
Captain_17
Yes Captain_17, i have exactly same problem, cant give it to repair since purchased it from abroad.

3e recovery because i`ve flashed 2.2 and 2.2.1 or any other official roms, i can flash CWM easy but as Captain_17 said i can see but cant touch
files or partitions.
If flash CWM then phone will boot to CWM only, and i cant flash any rom from CWM because i cant copy files to internal storage and external (sdcard) cwm doesn't see it.
Sorry man, wish I could be of more help. I tried every available option I could find online but nothing worked.
Seems to be a hardware problem and replacing the damaged part is the only solution.
Silly question, but you ticked re-partition? try flash 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 with 512 pit and repartition
Also, you could try to flash Darky ressurection via odin, not completely stock rom. I know that this is just tweaked stock, but you could try do that.
And, you could try to use Heimdall instead of odin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196179
I have read somewhere that heimdall is more preferable than odin in some cases.

I once also a similar problem and flash2.1 Eclayr. But then I had to restore recowery to flash. as with you, I do not know if it helps.
Hello
So I got a phone from a friend wich doesn't boot. In recovery it says:
"Copying media files..
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exist)
E:copy_dbdate_media: can't mount /sdcard
your storaged not prepared yet, please use UImenu for format and reboot actions."
Tried an full wipe reset through recovery. Tried installing firmware through Odin. Tried with a 512 pit file (repartition). Didn't work yet. Any ideas?

Hi.
Have you tried full restore to GB? Original Stock Firm.
-Get your stock from http://samfirmware.com/ & Odin (with pit file).
Don't forget the WIPE! ( you can restore to stock and after that wipe and restart )
For me, at any problem i have... i use the GB Flash Kit from Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966
And folow that 5 steps.
Don't forget to have a Backup of EFS (IMEI)
Search here on XDA, you will find the right way to bypass your problem, it always happened, don't panic.

you could try Rashr https://www.google.gr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj4v8__3qTJAhVFWBQKHW_mBQMQFggfMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dde.mkrtchyan.recoverytools%26hl%3Del&usg=AFQjCNGu4pHxHY9Qtjx32JgaHSioXrepGA&sig2=QydTlDPGIzJT6A1Bu1QDeA with rashr you can install any recovery you want and you wont lose the previous one, it might fix your problem
PS: I dont think there is a fix with lucky patcher, you could try contacting the developer

After restoring a backup, Includes EFS I am not able to reboot my phone anymore.
I tried flashing stock, a few combinations..
Combinations bootloop on Factory Binary logo, Stock ROMs on Samsung logo.
Download mode:
ODIN MODE
DOWNLOAD SPEED: FAST
Product name: N950F (My model is N950F/DS but it's normal it says N950F)
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
RMM State: Prenormal
FRP Lock: OFF
OEM Lock OFF
Secure download enabled.
Also my Knox is 0x030c.
In recovery I get this:
Code:
#Fail to open recovery_Cause (No such file or directory)
Stock/Combinations flash fine. But on reboot they boot into stock recovery and gives this error:
Reboot Recovery Cause is Unknown
Support SINGLE-SKU
File based OTA
E:Failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
Supported API: 3
E:Failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)

Any ideas? I really miss this phone.
Thanks in advance!! I'm on CRGA if that helps, So I can flash ARG1 combination, CRG1 firmware, CRGA firmware.
I had no issues with EFS before at all, All issues came after this backup restore.
Flashing custom recovery gives me this: imgur.com/a/zKcoJVp

Have you tried formatting data, where you have to type yes? I believe TWRP still has mounting issues, so you have to format like I said, then TWRP should mount properly.
You will have to flash stock with Odin to get rid of the binary issue., I believe.

I was just trying to make sense of your post if I'm honest.
If you can not flash stock with Odin, contact Samsung for repair.

Ok stupid question.
Since your on bootloader v4 since your on crga
1) did you flash any firmware with 4 in like N950FXXU"4"CRGA because you can't flash bootloader v. (3 or 2 or 1)
2) Have you tried the latest Odin?
3) have you flashed the CSC file (this one erases files and set up like new phone) instead of home_CSC?
And since Knox is Tripped there is no going back! So hope your company doesn't mind a rooted phone.
You'll need combination files that's for N950FXXU4CRGA (pay attention to the 4) if your going to flash combination files.

Ok I have read it, you can't use that method as you are not allowed to flash twrp and that method needs to to have twrp installed.
Last option before sending service station
Flash pit file and tick re partition
You can find pit file by extracting csc tar file

I tried that, I got many solutions I want to try first, I still don't know what exactly went wrong for my device to do this, What will Service station say to "System Status: Custom", I can't reset it to official when I can't boot.

The pit file included into the CSC file don't will be used while the firmware flash process?
