Cannot Factory Reset Through CWM - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone help me with my problem? :crying:
Galaxy S3 Mini(GT-I8190), rooted,and no custom ROM(Stock ROM Installed). I cannot go to my homescreen so yeah.. :crying:
I'm using CWM recovery v6.0.2.7, when i will do "wipe data/factory reset" and press yes the phone will restart immediately and nothing happens it didn't reformat my phone either like nothing happens. I stuck at boot loop with "galaxy s3 mini logo" and keep restarting it self, while turning on the LED light(menu and back) below blinks 3 times i don't know what does it means. I reinstalled stock firmware from sammobile like few months i did when trying to fix in boot loop but now it won't work, while installing stock firmware via ODIN, i notice something that there is a red colored message below "custom binary download" the message is "movi_write card_status:2 ...", btw my binary counts is 15 does it matter with this red thing message?, my "Current Binary" and "System Status" are in "Custom" but my firmware last time is Stock Firmware.
I tried installing new Recovery mode with TWRP via ODIN and it says PASS and restarts my phone and i take off the battery and goes to recovery mode and it appears that it doesn't take me to TWRP, it is like that the TWRP that i flashed via ODIN didn't install to my phone and CWM is still running in my recovery, i feel like CWM won't let me to factory/reset my phone so i changed to TWRP but it won't let me.

Please help me guys :crying:

Oh sh*t the exact same happened with me! Try looking for a param.tar file for your device?

Just that I had Maclaw's CM11 installed on my phone. I had the movi card status thing as well so maybe it could mean that the NAND (internal storage device) is corrupted or messed up? Yeah try looking for a param.tar file for a GT-I8190, because there's different variants for the S3 mini like GT-I8190N which is NFC, GT-I8190L which is the Latin version and stuff like that. Also flash the correct type of ROM as well. Good luck with everything.

oh hey thanks for replying to me , i already use the PARAM_I8190 after flashing the stock rom but it still stuck at bootloop. O hey i found the red message "movi_write card_status:2 ... start:blk: ..." while flashing the stock rom, i downloaded 2 or 3 more stock roms but still the same with the same thing red message and stuck at boot loop.
I can access to download mode and recovery mode but when i do factory reset/data in recovery mode it will restart the phone immediately but after that restart my old files in my phone are still there it likes nothing happens when i want to format my phone.

I don't think anything can help, so copy everything from your internal storage to your computer and return the phone to your seller maybe?

I hope so but i can't for now, ill just leave this thing alone and wait for more people to help me with this problem.

Maybe wipe via Odin?
There's a file WIPE_I8190.tar.md5, which should also deletes the files. Try to use it through Odin! Just be sure to have all important data saved on your PC
I'm sorry but I can't upload the file for you, because I'm still a new user at xda But you'll find it I downloaded it just a few days ago
If this doesn't work experiment around with the Param-File, the Recovery-File etc.
I had problems with my S3Mini, too, got it so much destroyed that I just was able to access Downloadmode, not even the Recovery and got it full back to life There are always ways

how o.o? I dont have SDCARD, if i have one i don't have sdcard adapter to put the twrp file.

I already tried everything using these files, WIPE_I8190, PARAM_I8190, Stock Firmware, and PIT FILE through odin. I'm getting this red message "movi_write card_status:2 (...) start: ... blk: ..." while performing all files through odin and says PASS, except for PARAM_I8190 there is no red message. I cannot fix anymore by my own, if anyone knows how to fix it please tell me

bump thread :'(

You don't even need any custom recovery to do Wipe Data/Factory Reset (that's mean /data and /cache partition will be formatted), you can do this by stock recovery.
Put phone in Download Mode and flash original firmware for your device in Odin.
Than go to stock recovery and Wipe Data.
And post here log from Odin after flashing soft.
Or from custom recovery, if working, you can flash script which will unmount /data, /cache, /system, /sdcard and do format all these partitions.

When i do "Wipe Data/Factory Reset", formating the /data through CWM recovery(v6.0.2.7), accessing the download folder(internal sdcard) and "wipe dalvik cache" my phone restarts immediately. Still not booting to homepage. The stock firmware were i installed is the same firmware that i used in my current phone. I tried to used other custom ROM is it called CM 11 and 12 by maclaw, but it still the same it won't boot to homepage and the red message is still there while installing the firmware. I just tried this I8190XXANI4_I8190OXXANI1_VDR stock firmware earlier still nothing

Have you trying format /system, /cache, /data to f2fs? On TWRP should be that option. And then install CM11.
But this really looks like device storage is broken (mmcblk0), if is, than the last option can be to have good quality external sdcard(mmcblk1) and making some new partitions (/modemfs, /efs, /system, /data, /cache). Than you know, this is only my thinking, but maybe this is a option to skip even broken eMMC...using external SD card like inbuilded eMMC memory.

If this mmcblk1 extSDCard will work, can i root my phone again and install custom ROM's? Where to get this mmcblk1 extSDCard thing?
I'm gonna send my phone to samsung this Tuesday to fix my phone worth of $30 to fix this thing i hope so.... i don't want to tell them to me that they need to replace my eMMC that cost a lot of money.

mmcblk0 - this is whole memory of your device parted to partitions (/system, /efs, /modemfs, /kernel, /internal_sd etc.)
mmcblk1 - this is removable sdcard, has normally only one partition (mmcblk1p1) which is storage for your music, pictures, videos etc.
My idea is to partition mmcblk1 to more part (almost same like mmcblk0), edit kernel to mount new partitions as /system, /data, /cache and boot up ROM from here.

"booted back in recovery and tried to do a data wipe, every time i try it freezes and reboots after a few seconds and doesnt do the wipe"
CWM wipe data causes freeze seem to suggest there are damage in the data partition. There are tools and guide in the thread below which may help to check if there is damage in partition and a solution to that problem. In case you have not read it.

Stuck in Boot Animation

My wifes phone started to act up last night so I suggested that she reboot it. However, upon rebooting it just gets stuck at
the Boot Animation. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I guess I have to flash a new rom? I am also thinking of flashing it
back to stock rom is it possible in this state?
Thanks.

use heimdall, download the Rescue kit for i9000, contains complete package for linux
updated the Collections. check out Quick Solutions,
Bro, you are not Cf-rooted. Tell us more about your phone so that you can get the correct clockworkmod recovery.
I had a similar problem. The solution I found that worked, based on a suggestion elsewhere, was to flash the new (stock) ROM twice in a row. Have no idea why this worked.
The story on this phone is that I got it July of last year and somewhere in Feb/Mar of this year
I installed a CustomRom for the first time, SlimICS, then I gave it to my wife as I got a GalaxyNote.
Then about a week ago it started to act up, at first it keeps on rebooting, then it starts to
show a message after reboot that encrytion has failed and has to be factory reseted, my wife
just basically ignore the message and just reboot again... it worked for a while, then the other
day, it rebooted itself into recovery, and when booted everything is just amiss, forceclose everywhere
notification is missing... so I thought maybe time for a new ROM or something, so I decided to
bring it back to Stock GB Rom first... but even this I cant seem to accomplish.
Anyways I just tried to flash the package Rescue kit for i9000 suggested by xsenman from heimdall,
but still after rebooting, it goes to recovery with this error:
--Copying media files
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Cant mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI
menu for format and reboot actions.
Meida files copy failed.
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblkOp2
Formatting /dbdata
Formatting /cache
Deleted Meta Data
Data Wipe Failed
Also if I may add, I cant seem to turn the unit off without taking the battery out, because it just keeps on going back to
recovery.
Any ideas?

had the solution for this added to Quick Solutions, just click Collections for Android below, scroll down and try it.
You are boot looping because you don't have /dbdata. This seems to he normal when flashing back to stock. Do a search for a galaxy s dbdata.tar and flash it under pda in Odin. Thats what I have to do.
Good luck

CWM Flash help

Hi , i need a little advice on this n-7000 issue please, heres the background.
Bought phone from ebay£100 working fine with a german DBT rom installed( was a german phone as it was main language on reset)
Used fine for 3 weeks except buying better battery.
Flashed philz cwm6 5.08.5 giving me root and 6.0.3.3, alls well.
Tried to upgrade via odin to a 4.4 cwm but fails so i di it through a zip and starts bootloop, wipe reboot no good still the same.
Reload stock via odin, passes but still loops, efs error.
I had somehow wiped the efs folder and not knowing what an efs folder was didnt have a backup so after 9 hours of reading, flashing back to gb and then rooting to make sure the efs was empty via ktool and explorers it was off to samsung after a stock jb via odin to go back to bootloop.
Thankfully phones just in warranty so new pda and usb and they flash it with LT9XEU.
So i have it back root with Philz-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.08.5-signed(does the orange make it an issue on an open device?)and it works fine and runs fine and i back up the efs folder to a million places with 3 different programs.
Problem i have is, i want a 4.4 rom like most people but i cannot get a cwm with selinux support to run on this phone...heres what i have tried,
Installing philz_touch_6.26.6-n7000 on top of the 1st cwm which gives me black screen after 1st logo not getting to samsung one, but if i boot straight into recovery it does tell me im on 6.0.4.8.
Tried to install philz_touch_6.26.6-n7000 from scratch but get error status 7 in /tmp/(cant remeber)/package.zip.
Tried to install raw_kernel_r4_j43 before asylum rom install but this failed on signature.
That was last night and i thought id ask before trying anything else.I have reflashed stock back on this 6-7 times in 24 hours trying to sort this but im going round in circles.
I can flash the rom in odin no problem but never a recovery file it fails everytime.
Is it as simple as you have to install the 4.4 rom after new cwm as the old jb cant handle it hence the black screen or is there something else i need to do, any help is most welcome as after avoiding a £200 repair bill for a £100 phone i continue with some trepidation, many thanks all.
What's the current situation? Are you able to get into recovery? If yes, what's the recovery?
The phone is running as normal, stock rom and recovery...left it like that after fresh install last night.
Running N7000XXLT9_N7000OXXLT3_XEU with its stock recovery
So if you want to install kitkat, flash Philz kernel first to get Cwm.. Then flash raw kernel.. Reboot into recovery and wipe and install kitkat rom.
Thank you, doing it in that order worked for me,so many threads its hard to find clarity...i thank you for your time.

I am hoping to flash Kit Kat 4.4.4 via Omni ROM . To do this I believe I need to load a ClockworkMod-Recovery - WITH SELINUX SUPPORT which is why I am trying to flash philz_touch_6.12.8-n7000.tar.md5. It fails everytime. If I flash an older version of Philz I understand it won't be compatible with Kit Kat 4.4.4. Is that correct?
Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks very much for your help.
I am fairly new to all this and a bit nervous about screwing up and bricking my phone. However, the fact that your reply is succinct, gives me confidence that you advised on this problem before and your method works. I don't understand everything you have listed but I am sure I can find the answers to all I need in this forum.
A couple of things
1) A Raw5 or 6 kernel is available, should i go for one of these. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397000.
2) At what point do I backup so I can recover if things go wrong and how would I do this backup. My phone is not rooted yet.
I appreciate your time. Thank you.
The instructions I was originally trying to follow were these.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780703
2. Installation procedures
If you are on the stock Jelly Bean/ICS Samsung firmware:
-Download Philz kernel and copy it to your SD card
-Download a KitKat ROM and copy it to either your internal or external memory
-Download PA-Google Apps and copy it to either your internal or external memory
-Download Raw Kernel r5 and copy it to either your internal or external memory
-Reboot to recovery by holding down volume up, power and home button at once until you are in recovery mode
-Flash Philz kernel
-Go to "Mounts and Storage" and format /system, /data, /preload
-Reboot to recovery again by going to "advanced", "reboot to recovery" or by holding down volume up, power and home button at once until you are back in recovery mode
-Flash Raw Kernel
-Reboot to recovery again
-Flash your ROM
-Flash PA-Google Apps
-Reboot
You have a XXLT9 Rom so search in PhilZ Thread for such a Kernel. You can also use a similar one like lt6, lt4, lta. With this Kernel you can root your phone and get a custom recovery in one step. Now you can make a nandroid of your current rom.
Now time for kk. Flash Raw4/5 Kernel and follow the instructions you wrote.
If you want to go back flash Philz Kermel and after thst recover your nandroid backup of your stock rom.

Thanks for your last reply. This all makes sense to me now.
I have found a PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.08.5-signed.zip file so I reckon I'm ready to go with these instructions.
Take care and cheers.... John
Should work and good luck...

[Q] CWM and mounting system problem on i9305..Can someone help

I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S3 i9305 that is running on CM11 4.4.3 nightly. Just today the phone battery died, but somehow the phone booted up again but was stuck on the initial samsung boot logo, the one with the device name and model number. I could only enter CWM, where i got the errors showing:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command/
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log/
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log/
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log/
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log/
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install/
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install/
Then I proceeded to factory wipe the phone, which didn't work. Tried wiping the system, didn't work either. I even tried going back to stock ROM using Odin but it kept showing that it failed to do so. So now I can only move between recovery and download mode, nothing else. Can't mount system, SD and so on.
Hope someone has a solution for this problem. I really need my phone... Thanks to whoever can help!!

Seems like the problem lies with the recovery, cant mount and open its own files. the recovery related files should be in your internal sd (phone memory) to delete all of that with all the other systems stuff, try this:
- wipe data factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- in mounts and storage --> format system/format cache/format data and now the internal sd = format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
if you want delete also everything in your external sd, then format /storage/sdcard1
- in advanced --> wipe dalvik cache
now turn off your device in power option --> power off. boot into downloadmode and now flash the stock rom with odin, as everhting is wiped odin shouldnt give you errors now.
i hope this helps mate..

Tried formatting everything...only format boot worked. Can't wipe cache either. Everything comes up as failed. I have no idea what to do, do I use Odin to flash a new recovery? Odin can detect my phone but so far the attempts to go back to stock ROM has been failing as I mentioned. Would this be hard brick or soft brick? Thanks anyway!!

yes, seems like you have to flash another recovery with odin to replace cwm. lets try that! download here philz touch 6.41.6 and flash with odin then see if the problem still persists, if you have succes flash immediately stock rom, to start fresh again.
i wouldnt say you have hardbricked it since you can go into downloadmode, probably a softbrick..

Thanks a lot!! Will try it out tmrw, cause Ive got to do other stuff... just to stay a step ahead, what happens if this fails too?
in that case you will need to do a full install with 4 files(not package) and a PIT file to re-create your partitions...if this fails phone is bricked...hardware bricked...

if this fails, then nothing will happen. you have to find a way to restore back to stock, if you cant i guess you will need to bring the device to your local service shop. but try everything and search everywhere for a solution, im sure there is a way to fix it !!

[Q] Not able to install cwm custom recovery in galaxy n7000

Hi,
I have rooted my galaxy n7000 running on stock 4.1.2 DDLSC using the supersu. After root tried to install the cmw custom recovery but failed then tried to flash/install the philz custom recovery and its also failed. I have tried following options.
1. downloaded the .zip version of philz and tried to flash it using stock recovery "Update from external storage". When it was updating suddenly phone was getting turned off. Tried two to three times.
2. Also tried the ODIN v1.85 and v3+. downloaded the tar.md5 file matching to n7000, and when tried to flash it using ODIN two times it got struck at "SetupConnection: and 2 to 3 times it got failed. saying

wanted to install the lollipop or kitkat.
Please guide me how to install philz or cmw recovery.
What am I doing wrong, why the philz is not getting flash using ODIN or stock recovery.
I have also tried the "flashify" app. and when flashing philz recovery its saying "Partition flashed successfully" but when going to recovery mode there I find stock recovery. Nothing is working.
you need to flash a custom kernel which includes the recovery. as far as i know it is not possible to flash recovery only with keeping stock kernel. philz provided several kernels for N7000 with appropriate recovery for many different android versions.

Get a philz kernel that matches your ROM build number. In your case its ddlsc. If you don't find that xxlta will also do.
I understand that need to download the kernal. just to confirm is it "Signed" .zip file of philz?
Last time I was rooted with the philz signed .zip file. Root was successfull but recovery was still stock. and when I flash the recovery using CWM App. my phone bricked. it was struck at samsung logo. Some how I flashed the stock rom and my note got a life.
Now this time I am scared to do the same. But still will give a try.
Right now my phone is rooted with supersu. To flash the philz kernal with recovery, Do i have to unroot first and then flash? Or I can flash without unrooting?
Thanks for suppoting. XDA is the good place for anyking of troublesooting and memebers here are best in supporting.
Can you please provide the url from where to download the philz kernal.
You can use the zip or tar file. Zip is preferred. You don't need to unroot.
Thanks you so much. was able to successful install the philz recovery
My phone is bricked due to my friend mistake. As per your suggestion I have downloaded the philz kernel. flashed it and philz recovery was installed. I was so happy, My friend asked to see the phone and I gave him. In my phone the "ClockWorkMod app" was installed from google play. My friend asked me whether he can backup the data or not. I said ok do it. He open the "ClockWorkMode app" and went to backup and clicked on it. it asked for the name of the backup. He have given the name and clicked on the ok button. Suddently phone got turned off and was struck at "Galaxy Note GT N7000" boot screen. I tried to do the power off using power button but again it was getting turned on automatically and getting struck at boot screen. Taken the battery out.
tried to go into recovery mode but was not able to go there. Only download mode is working. I flash the "Philz recovery" using ODIN.
and when reboot the phone got struck at same boot screen with an additional yellow triangle.
Can it be re-cover or it is hard brick? Please suggest something. I have downloaded the stock DDLC tar file from sammobile site. Do I need the partition .pit file? I tried to find out the partition .pit file for 16gb version but all links are broken.
Help me please.

Ouch, try reflashing everything according to the previous instructions again. Remember to clear cache and do a factory reset after that, the Rom Manager aka ClockWorkMode app is kinda useless..
Back to life,
After bricking my phone I was in so much stress. Was thinking all the possible way like re-partition csc etc... then suddenly thought why not flashing the stock rom which is downloaded. Puts the phone in download mode. open the ODIN 1.85 connected the phone with pc and selected the stock DDLSC tar md5 file, taken a deep breath and remembered all the gods and clicked on the start button.
flashing started within 10 min it finished and phone re-booted. back to stock rom without loosing any kind of data. To my surprise all the app which was moved to external card was automatically detected and checked the sd phone memory and all my personal file and data with contacts and messages was available. Once again many many thanks to XDA and all of you.
Again rooted the phone with Philz kernel. LOL.
Can you please help me. How to do nandroid backup and whether it can be flash by ODIN or not.
Make a nandroid backup by booting into recovery and choosing backup. Or use an app like zipinstaller.
No odin cannot flash a nandroid backup. It has to be restored using recovery only.
