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/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..

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.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Pop

I have a Samsung Galaxy Pop with “com.android.phone” error each time the device restarts. The network goes down and comes back again. This happens twice.
I had upgraded my handset from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 using Kies in Sept 2012. I somehow got a chance to copy the I559DDEH31_HOME.tar.md5 file which Kies creates for upgrade. The contents of the file are amss, boot.img, cache.rfs, recovery.img & system.rfs.
I have tried Odin to flash but have been unsuccessful.
I would like to know if I can use “dd if=/dev/block/stl12 of=/sdcard/system.rfs bs=4096” command using adb shell to restore the handset to its original state?
I am not that good at Android so would like to know if somebody can help me.

Why don't u flash a new gingerbread 2.3.6 stock rom? Froyo is kind of outdated. Make sure to backup your contacts and everything if u decide to do so.

Hi Kirakun,
I would love to do that but unfortunately I am not able to find dedicated Gingerbread 2.3.6 stock rom for Samsung Galaxy Pop CDMA (India) SCH-I559.
I have searched a lot but found only for Samsung Galaxy mini or S5570 which are the GSM versions of the same model.
I have also found that some have already bricked their phones using the other versions.
So I have decided to stick to froyo.
I just wanted to make sure that if I restore the /system partition using system.rfs command (dd if=/dev/block/stl12 of=/sdcard/system.rfs bs=4096) shouldn't create any new problems.

My bad i was not aware of this different version. Yes do try what dheeraj has said.
I think that entering recovery should be same for u, just switch off phone, press home button and power button simultaneously and hopefully you will enter recovery.
Navigate using volume button and do a wipe data and cache. Doing so you will lose any app and everything from your phone, so do a backup before.

I cannot flash firmware as I do not have one supported for this model of samsung (CDMA version). KIES says that the firmware is up to date so cannot flash from there as well.

In case if you don't mind I would like to know how my phone will get ruined if I use the system.rfs from the original firmware file downloaded by Kies?
Secondly, is there a particular version of ODIN I need to use for this handset? I have tried 1.85, 3.07 and 4.38 versions.
Actually I do not have any other files than the I559DDEH31_HOME.tar.md5 required by ODIN.
I would prefer to go to Samsung service centre only when I am left with no option or if the handset fails to do its regular tasks.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion.

you will do it while your phone is running and while doing it your mobile will reboot in the process due to change in some critical files
and we also don't know what is the structure of system.rfs

Dheeraj, I understand what you are trying to say. I was plannning to do so in recovery mode. I have checked through ADB that I can access the device when in recovery mode. Will it still be a problem?

Alternatively I can also do when the phone is in download mode..
What do u think?

well you can't in download mode
but of you have cwm then it would be easy
open system.rfs with soft which can mount iso etc.
Copy the content of system to you sdcard
now flash aroma file manager and with the help of that copy all the files your your system.rfs to your system partition
and with dd it may copy files to /system/system or directly to /root

I used a linux machine to mount the system.rfs. Extracted phone.apk and installed the app using root explorer.
Finally the problem com.android.phone has been resolved..

[Q] No network, no IMEI, unknown Baseband, SIM not recognized,

Hi,
After trying to install an home-made CyanogenMod ROM, I can't connect anymore to the network.
When I type *#06#, it says "null / null"
*#1234# says "AP : I8190XXALL2" (the original ROM I just flashed) "CP : Unknown" and "CSC : Unknown"
Baseband version says Unknown too.
When I try to go to mobile network configuration, it says I've to put a SIM card.
Unfortunately, I've no backup of EFS or ModemFS, if the issue comes from here.
Already tried to flash stock ROMs like the I8190XXALL2_I8190OXXALL1, I8190XXAMA1_I8190OXAAMA1, or I8190XXAMA2_I8190XEFAMA1_XEF, or restoring a few old backups of the whole system. Still nothing.
I've heard I could've corrupted the EFS and lost the .nv_data file, but AFAIK it's not on the EFS partition on the I8190.
I can successfully make a backup of the EFS with EFSPro and it contains several files :
Code:
11/04/2013 19:28 <REP> .files
11/04/2013 19:28 <REP> bluetooth
11/04/2013 19:28 <REP> FactoryApp
26/11/2012 15:43 0 GUARDFIL
01/01/2012 02:15 12 gyro_cal_data
11/04/2013 19:28 <REP> imei
01/01/2012 02:02 222 pre_recovery.log
11/04/2013 19:28 <REP> RFHAL
11/04/2013 19:28 <REP> RFHAL.DEF
11/04/2013 19:28 <REP> wifi
If someone has an idea it'd be great, thanks in advance.

did u flashed stock roms with custom recovery?

I'm flashing it using Odin3 v3.07 with the phone in download mode. But I've TWRP 2.5.0.0 on it. Should I flash stock recovery and re-flash a stock ROM ?

Take it to Samsung's service center, but first make sure you flash Samsung's stock ROM and a stock recovery. I had this problem too and they've fixed it.

Is it really the only solution ? Because it's not easy for me to contact Samsung and go to a repairer.
And since this type of problems should never happens and might happen only when you're tweaking your device, can't they refuse to repair it ?
Someone working on smartphones at Intel can't fix it ?
And if I got it fixed, how should I prevent from further problems ?
Many questions, sorry… Thanks anyway.

I had this problem to and i flashed ot trough odin with a stock rom and a pit file and checked re-par. Square helped for me

Well if you get a sloppy serviceman he won't see what you did with a device, so it all depends on him. And yes they can refuse a warranty repair, in which case you're screwed.
I recommend that you backup your partitions in the future. All of them to prevent it from happening again.
You can try repartitioning but I'm 80% sure it won't work.

Yes man, you've lost most of your efs datas.. if you don't have a backup of efs, take it to the service center

Hey, finally corrupted all my modem partition while trying a few things to get back my IMEI, none of them worked. After having it corrupted, it put me in Factory mode and I wasn't able to do anything (only system, cache and efs partitions were mounted AFAIK). Took me some time to find I had to format my modem partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 if I remember correctly), but I still don't have an IMEI. Now I think all the "important" datas were stored in this partition, for exemple in the file named NV.dat (which I don't have any copy). So is a backup of this partition enough to prevent this type of problems ? And since this file might be similar with the EFS file called .nv_data.bin in other Samsung phones, interverting them might make it work ? Or am I totally wrong ? I didn't find any information related to what this file contains in reality, how it is encoded… no one tried to hack it already ?
PS: Now before sending my phone to the service center, I tried to run CM10.1 on it, but it's stuck on the boot animation and I can't connect with adb (that's not the whole story, but it's the last thing I get). Does anyone have an idea ? (I know it's a separate topic and it requires much more informations and we can't make a "working" ROM until we have source code for the NovaThor, but it may interest someone) (you can contact me by IM on the IRC Freenode network for exemple)

i dont know if this will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021

Will not work since we don't have a .nv_data file or something similar, I think…

do u have efs back up?

No, that's the main problem, but event with an EFS backup, if the efs datas aren't all stored in the EFS partition, I'd have lost them, no ? (but no one confirms that they are stored in the EFS partition or elsewhere)

Main mistake was to use EFSPro. This program doesn't work correctly with i8190.

didnt help..it didnt work

Wait wait wait... The IMEI is gone?? how can the IMEI be gone? it is how the telecom directorate (Govt.) monitors each phone... thats the reason a couple of years ago all cellular devices without an IMEI (chinese imports mainly) stopped working (they could no longer make calls, but it could be used as a media player).

What You Did
How it didn't helped
Can you say something about it?

I accidentally restored the EFS partition from one Nexus 5 to another and ended up with an IMEI of all zeros. It can happen. I was able to repair it with Qualcomm software, but the phone still doesn't see the network. Possibly an antenna issue...
Anyway, it can definitely happen. Also, it is illegal to change your IMEI (in the US at least). I would think it's OK to repair one however. I think the OP should specify that this method should only be used to restore an IMEI to the numbers listed on the device. These can usually be found inside the back cover and on the SIM tray. Check documentation for your model.

Help Needed !! IMEI Fix for Android One not working for me...
I was using CM11 sprout earlier and tried moving back to Stock. I lost my IMEI during this time. I have moved to stock kitkat by doing scatter loading of stock firmware. I have rooted my Android one with CWM recovery. I have used the above tools and generated the MTB_001 and created a zip and installed it with recovery. But, still i have my IMEI as invalid. I even tried replacing the MTB_001 file manually using ES_File explorer and giving permissions 777. Still no luck.
Can someone help me out on how to load proper IMEI as am completely blocked :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Thanks in Advance.

Great Guide! Liked it..Step by Step guide!
But i dont understand why people flash so much..where there is Official Lollipop & CM12 Available for us! Flash Freaking People! :/

You Should Tick All W-R-T All The 9 Then Only It Will Work & Dont Forget To Reboot

You Can Use It Too, On Your Device If Your Partition Is Like This

sorry, but i couldn't backup the 5.1 stock nvram but i will send you nvram.img from stock kitkat ROM. Flash and redo the procedure from scratch...and tell your device model also..

First point to note is that only full formatting makes the device lose IMEI,not normal data,system,cache formatting which is required for installing custom roms.When your partition table is messed up you get lots of errors when trying to wipe or mount any partition from custom recoveries,thus leaving you with only option to format before flashing stock rom through sp flash tools.It is after this flash that nvram loses your unique IMEI number.In my case I had backed up my stock rom through cwm recovery,now to restore my IMEI, I just extract the contents of /data/nvram/.....NVD_IMEI from my backup( three files in total) and push it to my to the same directory using adb push command,and it works for me.There is no need to push three cos only one file is relevant .But this is only temporary solution,cos after every reset you will lose your IMEI. It is better to backup the nvram partiton using dd command so that it could be flashed later,which would persist through installs.

No one will provide NVRAM or protected system data.
Is there any alternative way by which you can fix this issue?
Please PM me so that I can coordinate on this thing.

If you wiped those things without making a backup, you're fked. Those files are tailored specifically unique for every device.

bruh you want having someone else's IMEI and SN !!!!
