Hello guys ,
I have tried to install Cyanogenmod on my gt-I9070 phone , i don't know what i did wrong
but i ended up messing somehow with my phone , nd i see the " efs invalid argument msg on recovery"
My phone works now only with gingerbread 2.3.6 , and it has mobile data issue , like when i use wifi , i still have phone signal ( communication signal ) , but if i activate 3G data network , the signal lost nd its like there is no sim card anymore nd i have to re-boot the phone !
and i know its all because of the efs can't mount invalid argument .
when i try to install 4.1.2 JB on it , it installs successfully , but when it boot it says setupwizardcc has stopped nd back to zero i can't get in , tired to install gapps but not working !
when i try to install in custom firmware ( ressurection , cyanogenmod , miui , omni ) it install successfully but it stuck on boot logo forever
so i think i really have to fix that efs invalid argument problem so things back to work ! btw i found some tutorial about how to fix it using ADB commands but not working , i stuck on the " su " command so please help me , i did take it to a specialist to flash it with ZX3 box tool but negative !
thank u very much

The only problem is that your download count isn't at 0. Get used to it for now. The devs are working on it, just be patient. Development on this phone is progressing pretty fast, considering it was released a month and a half ago (for example, there's official CWM and TWRP recoveries already and there's a working-ish CyanogenMod port available to be compiled).
its not so fast. we dont have any roms and we are not supported as other phones

okk .. is there any solution for factory rest ???
yes i am a developer but since i have no grounds where cani start developing? I can start porting MIUI or anything but that doesnt mean it will work properly. i have ported it but it only boots there are serious issues with it
I personally think that a developer saying that there is no development very hilarious, please don't take it as an insult, just laugh with me

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.

I was to my friend to install on his N7000 a custom ROM , i moved to sd card cm11 gaps and Philz recovery . My mistake was , i used Philz from my Galaxy S2 and when i installed the recovery , i think the DPI was changed , and now when i want to install cm11 or do a wipe , it shows " Galaxy Note GT-N7000 and them the screen is complete black or with withe lone on screen like was broken , now , all i can acces is Download mode , but i dont know what problems has the phone cause what i try is saing "USB not recognized "
P.S : when i turn on phone normaly after logon boot , screen turns off but sound said to me cause is working , logon sound or when i recive a call or sms , but screen remains off
SORRY MY BAD ENGLISH but i am very disperate right now to write corectly ...
Edit : i posted on youtube : http://youtu.be/0rV2ZHSITNQ
So you installed the wrong kernel... Try to blindly flash correct philz kernel... Empty the sd card.. Then just place n7000 philz kernel and navigate blindly with the buttons to install.. May be take help from s2 philz recovery on your phone..
UPDATE : Problem Solved
Will , The problem was only the SD CARD !!!
yeah the phone doesn't boot up without an SD card
And after insert a SD CARD , now it's working fine
Thank you for reading my thread , and I hope the solution can help you to fix your problem too
Good luck guys
Hello guys , Please help me to unbrick my phone

anyway he told me to do a format to it . So from the phone I did a normal reset and than the phone rebooted and took me to the recovery mode , so I wiped the data and cache and then I press reboot .
And after that the phone stuck on the Samsung boot-loop.
So I tried to flash it with stock frameworks using Odin3 v1.7 and Odin3 v1.82 but nothing the flash process was fine without any problems and it take me to recovery and Wiped data and cache ... reboot but again the same problem 'The Samsung boot-loop'
PS : Stock framework that I used :
GT_I9000_JPJPF_JXJPD_OJPJPF
GT_I9000_JPJPG_JXJPE_OJPJPF
GT_I9000_JPJPM_JXJPF_OJPJPL

Please guys any solution to this problem
Hello guys , I have not had an android device for a few years so I was not really following how the stuff over here was untill I got a new Tab S2 . I was hesitant but finally decided to try and root it . Unfortunately my stupid ass forgot to make any back up what so ever and now it seems like the tab is pretty much dead . I used odin and then installed SuperSU from TWRP via zip . When the tab booted it straight said that it needs formating . Tried to wipe it and it said that it cant mount data or something of that sort . Then I found someone who suggested that changing the data format type to other type and then back to default would help with that issue , but I was not able to find out what the default format is so I just fiddled with all of the types with no success.
When I try to factory reset - nothing happens , when I try wiping everything it still has no effect . Turning it off doesnt achieve anything since it instantly restarts into recovery .
I think I have dig deep enough grave on my own so I finaly decided to ask for any advice on how to proceed .
Thank you in advance .
Edit : I was able to get into download mode with the power off function and instantly holding the combination before the recovery boot starts .
just download your official fimrware and flash it back thru odin.

Pilot error. You've made a series of errors there. I suggest you do as the previous poster suggested then start again.
Oh yeah , I am aware that I am the reason all of that happened . I tried to flash the official firmware with odin which failed and then in download mode the device said to use a program called smart switch . I downloaded it and used it to install nougat with it without any issues . The tab is all good now ( Unfortunately not rooted , but the sole reason I wanted root is to disable firmware updates which was not possible , and now with the new OS I was able to do it , so no need for root anymore ) . Thank you for the advice but I guess in the end I ****ed up so badly that the situation un****ed itself on its own .
