faild to mount efs // internal storage 0.00b !! - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

im facing a surios problem which i've been trying too long to solve with no results
first my phone is on factory mode ,, and every time i use ADB shell to change the factory mode from off to on and reboot ,, its back again
second when i boot into recovery it keeps telling faild to mount efs ... ( i still have my imei num. , mac address ...... etc ) all still shown on the phone and i still can make calls and connect through wifi
and last but not least ,, my internal storage is giving 0.00b ,, so i cand install any apk
things i tried :

cant really tell what caused this ,, since this phone belongs to my friend who dosnt seem to know anything >_<
any one can help plz !!!

any one ?!?

Which model do you have?
Odin works? Or it says "success", but it flashed nothing? Try flashing another firmware version or another rom to check this.

please HELP my i9001 is bricked !!!

Hi Guys,
I tried to upgrade rom from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6 got on this forum , using odin 4.43
the port was reconized and the process started but stay locked at 4/12 during 1 hour
so that I had to stop odin and shut down my i9001 from downloading mode .
now when restarting device I get icon showing a phone and a pc with yellow triangle and exclamation point in it .
Please help, what ca I do?
I made a full data+system backup using titanium on my sd card before stating the operation, could it be used ?
thanks in advance !!
Eric
Can you acces download mode? If you can, just try again with odin..
Hi,
You mean it is possible to get dowload mode , even if I got thei triangle pc phone logo ?
You should be able to get into download mode. Get the battery out of your phone and put it back after 10sec, Volume Down + Home + Power Button at the same time will get you in download mode.
It happens a lot that the flash is stuck, especially with large files. Changing USB or PC even will solve the problem.
thanks Shoomy !
I could get the download mode following your instruction
I will try with another another usb entry when at home .
for odin I have 2 files : one is .ops, the orther is .md5 : can you confirm I dont nead more files to get process ok till the end .
after step2 as I remember I have an odin log line telling something as " big file ..."
so that I wonder if it could work using another usb port !

That is fine, MD5 means "one package", so be sure to check One Package and then your .MD5 along with the .OPS and you're good to go. No need for other files.
Thanks Guys !
I could flash my phone with odin 4.43 and 2.3.6 rom .
but the only way to success after many sessions, was to uncheck box " secure OPS file" on odin screen .
thanks a lot

If you are 100% sure you cannot enter download mode you really have a problem. Did you try checking the battery? And if you are 100% sure - search the forum, there's some posts about using a JIG to fix it, but most seem to have gone back to Samsung afaik...

That's for softbricks only, not really a brick (just something that makes people panic and think they bricked their phone ). Hardbricks are almost impossible as in: go to a service center and hope they will replace or fix your device (without any cost)...

A couple of ways to fix i 1) if you backed up your efs partition 2) you have nandroid backups to revert to 3) take it in for repair. 4) try using kies firmware to restore (if it just disappeared for no reason it might work, if you flashed a rom and this happened, then your chances are low.
another problem occured

Is it international i8190?
Flash servicefirmware and see if it resolves any of your problems.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2157105
Edit: Ok i8190N.. I got ervice firmware for that one too somewhere. Give me some time to find it..
Edit 2: Here's a link to i8190N service fw that I've pre-rooted. Unzip and flash in odin.
Make sure drivers is installed, Kill everything with kies in your computers taskmanager, open odin, connect phone to usb and wait for it to be found.
Put "CODE"tar.md5 in PDA and "CSC"tar.md5 in CSC.
Press start and wait for it to finish.

Yes, you will loose all, but may get your phone to at least boot.
Btw, do you have warranty left?
Whatever pic' you have attached, i can't get it to load.

Are you on Official or does it say custom? How many binary counts? I think the eMMC chip is damaged since mine had a similar problem and it had bricked on CM11 so it couldn't even boot! When I trying to restore the stock firmware it showed 'movi-write card_status:2' in red letters

Option 1: Put your phone into download mode, start up Odin in administration mode, plug the phone into your computer. If Odin still does not find it, try another usb port and see if Odin picks up the port. Also be sure you have the latest samsung driver package installed.
Option 2: If you have a factory rom or custom rom downloaded to your phone, you can boot into recovery and install the rom. But you would lose any data that you have not backed up, but it would get your phone out of soft brick status.

I thought you had Safestrap installed. This one goes above me. The following link might help shed more light on the problem and possibly provide a solution.

Sometimes mine acts up too. Try turning the phone off. While connected to the PC Boot into download mode then take the battery out and put it back in. Its weird af but it worked for me when my PC didnt recognize the phone.
