I have a Rogers i896 build 10.10 running froyo. I just tried to restore back to stock rogers froyo JL1 using Odin 1.81 and using a 512 pit file. I entered into download mode and the odin process complete then the phone reboots.
Now it entered into android system recovery <3e> . with this menu:
Reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal sd-card
it also says the following...
update media, please wait
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_db_data_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions

I'm a complete noob at this.. I read a lot and thought i'll give it a shot to flash a new rom.
Update. Tried to reflash, didn't work.
Tried to reflash with Stock Rogers Eclair, didn't work just went to the Recovery <2e> same error message with can't mount ....
I think this is bricked...
Any way around this?
did you just use the pit file and thats it? did you use the tar file in the pda slot as well?

My phone can't even be turned off. I tried all the options in the menu and it gives me the same error message.
I think the only way to turn it off is if I remove the battery

Sounds like a bad flash, can you get into download mode and try a reflash?
I just pulled out the battery to turn it off, and managed to get to download mode again. This time I tried odin 1.7. Odin says passed... but still the same error message
One thing I noticed that the re-partition check box on odin is checked when i put the pit file in there. I didn't realized it was checked so I clicked start with that on. It wasn't checked when I first opened the program. I just tried to reflash with it off, and same result
Is there no one here that can fix it?
I did some more searching around and found this post from the i9000 forums...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8683455&postcount=7
I guess I was suppose to uncheck re-partition and the stock rogers roms does not include cache.rfs and dbdata.rfs file inside.
Anyone know if there's a way to get a ROM that includes those files in them so I can reflash it?
here i used this stock 2.1 with odin 1.7 and it worked.

your phone isnt bricked. bricked is a specific thing and has a special screen.
flash 2.1 when doing stock. 2.2 stock includes 3e recovery and it requires all update.zip files to be digitally signed. there is a way around it but its extra steps. instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
I tried to flash to stock 2.1 with odin but same thing happened.
It boots into recovery and i can't do anything... except its 2e instead of 3e that i saw before.
whats the exact filesize of the tar you used?
also if you dont re-partition, you dont need a pit file. (the p stands for partition)
The exact file size for the TAR is 238 MB (250,420,736 bytes)
I didn't know PIT is re-partition until after the fact.
Ok, I'm going to see if I can get my phone in the same condition as yours and then fix it. BRB...
Broke it and fixed it. Details in a sec.
Ok my steps to break it:
Flashed UXJL1 with Odin 1.81 using 512.pit and repartition checked.
Boot lands in recovery with can't mount error.
Steps to fix.
Used Odin 1.81 to flash the JH2 firmware from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36.
Did not check partition, did not load a pit file.
I've seen that error before but I couldn't remember how I fixed it. I think the key is simply to Odin flash 2.1 firmware using no pit and no repartition. I chose the package above because it doesn't change your boot loader and is compatible with newer phones.
flash into the AT&T 2.1 with the one click, what you probably did was Odin into the rogers 2.2 without turnning off lagfix. for some reason the rogers version doesnt actually repartition your phone.

Looks like the stock ROM you tried to flash is missing dbdata.rfs. Get a stock ROM from here, they should contain all files (incl. dbdata.rfs). Alternatively you could search for a flashable dbdata.rfs to flash with Odin.

I don't know the exact settings you used, but I assume the following:
ICS ROMs have different partition layouts than GB ROMs. Therefore the initial flash of the ICS failed, as it probably needs a reboot after changing the partition layout. If you had flashed it again, it should have worked.
But what I'm pretty shure about is, that flashing ICS the first time, changed the partition layout. As a result you probably had to check "repartition" when flashing stock GB with Odin. But when you check "repartition" in Odin, the ROM you are flashing needs all ROM parts (including dbdata.rfs), because all partitions of the internal flash of the phone are cleared after repartition. If a part is missing, it can't mount the related partition, because the partition is still unintialized.
If you flash a GB ROM with missing parts and "repartition" unchecked over an already working GB ROM, Odin will only flash the parts of the ROM that are present and leave the rest untouched. Thats how flashing only a kernel works, it just flashes the kernel to the kernel partition and leaves the rest of the ROM untouched. Also thats how the fix you posted works. The dbdata.rfs.tar only contains dbdata.rfs, flashing it with "repartition" unchecked only overwrites the dbdata partition and leaving the rest (which you flashed earlier with the PDA file) untouched.

Yes. I assume its all right but I didn't tried ICS. I was jumping from stock GB to JB ROM. So what you will now suggest me to flash JB PA ROM on currently working stock GB ROM?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
The things I wrote about ICS also apply to JB.
I don't know, how to install JB PA, but the install instructions should be in the thread where you got the ROM from. If flashing fails, you should ask there, as it may be a known problem and the people there would probably be more of a help than me, as I never flashed JB PA.
2.3.6GB fw.root after installation, the kernel semaphore cwm, then save the sd.kartu,, clearing the ultimate script for kernel instal script, factory data reset wipe, wipe Dalvik cache and rom and installed the ICS sd.karty.
it is better to have clean sd.kartu before the flash rom ICS or JB.

Galaxy TAB GT-P1000L - Solved
I was facing the same issue with my Galaxy TAB GT-P1000L, where it was on loop in the Samsung Logo screen. Please note that after flashing the dbdata, you must flash the Stock ROM again
Hello XDA members and devs. I have stumbled upon an issue that seems to be close to un-fixable. I have the SM-N910T obviously. I am on DOK2, every rom Touch Wiz and Cyanogenmod flashed correctly a couple of months ago. Now the only things I can flash are DOK2 stock firmware via ODIN, and then I can successfully flash TWRP 2.8.7.0, the only ROM I can flash is Maximum Overdrive 4.0.1 +(all upper updates.) I got a hold of Max OD dev and he said it's because of the 3 mount lines he added to the top of his updater-script. So I added those lines to updater-scripts of other roms and none worked. Some other roms have many other mount points and important lines of code in the updater-script that should not be removed or edited. I want to go back to Cyanogenmod, and others either 12.1 nightlies, or the new CM Remix 13.0 which worked before all the others stopped working at the same time.
Yes I also tried this.

After you flash D0K2 firmware - Use the stock Recovery and Factory Reset - That will get you out of the bootloop - Just remember that your internal storage will be wiped!
I also get the same issue after attempting to downgrade which always fails. Used to be able to downgrade and upgrade firmware's as well, now I cant. I got the dev of Max OD rom to pull a DOK2 pit file even flashing that does not fix my issue. I also posted on Reddit, so I will copy and paste this post.
Reddit Post.
I have a T-Mobile Note 4 was working fine for a long time flashed many ROM's multiple times over and over again never had a problem until I flashed DOK2 I assume. With ODIN. I did flash to stock from COD6 to DOK2 can't seem to downgrade back to COD6 with ODIN get error cant downgrade note 4 SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused2 > Binary 1 [1] eMMC write fail : ABOOT , that appears on Download mode. Then every time I install TWRP I try to install a ROM from OTG usb or ext sd and nothing flashes, rom files work used them before. I can only seem to install DOK2 and can't downgrade or flash other roms. I need help so I can flash other roms. Yes I tried flash stock DOK2 and boot stock recovery then clearing cache and factory reset, to downgrade to COD6 still failing and can't install other roms. every time i try to flash version lower then DOK2 using odin get this error ; SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused2 > Binary 1 [1] eMMC write fail : ABOOT
At one point I installed CWM trlltexx or something like that through TWRP, and did format and all of that. But after that went back to stock flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 because couldn't flash roms with CWM because the roms thought I was on trltexx. Formatted all partitions with CWM. Anyways tried to get back to Cyanogenmod and or Tekxodus and other roms all fail. Minus Maximum Overdrives 4.0.1.
The first 3 lines that Overdrive mentioned that must make my roms flash able are.
HTML:
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/cache");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data");
Anyways please contact me on Google+ Hangouts or respond here if you know how to fix my issue also have Skype but PM me for that info. Add Bacon Seeds first and last name to Google + Hangouts that G+ Hangouts email is [email protected] . I am experienced in compiling roms extracting, de compiling as well. Life on my Note 4 without some Cyanogenmod had been technologically heartbreaking. I like flashing multiple roms and swapping back and forth. Now I cant even test others stuck on Max OD which is a good and awesome rom but sometimes get tired of Touch Wiz.
I would install the ROM you can, then dirty flash an aosp ROM, then try to flash the ROM you want.

Use Kies to recover your phone. It should be able to fit any issues with partitions etc.
Odd how using the PIT file does not fix this issue. It's literally setting up your phone's partition table all over again and it isn't working. Also, on DOK2's bootloader, it is impossible to rollback bootloader. I tried going from DOK2 -> ANIH (Kitkat original) and it didn't work. You can still run older ROMs, just not the older bootloader. That's why you're getting the 'Binary 2 > Fused 1' message.

By the way, you should be using ODIN3.10.7. It is the latest version. Load up the full stock DOK2 firmware (I suggest downloading using SamFirm -- make sure to check Binary Nature for a full firmware), follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610757
They used a PIT and Stock to fully wipe, with the exception in this case being that this is 5.1.1 and not 4.4.4

do you have a working DOK2 stock firmware running on your phone. Once you upgrade to DOK2 you can only flash ROMs based on 5.1.1 or ROMs that include a kernel. If you want to flash a ROM based on 5.0.1 you will need to flash either the Emotion Kernel or the Beast mode kernel as well before you reboot the device.
If you have Stock TW firmware running and you have TWRP installed your phone should be fixed. As long as you use compatible ROMs with it.

Looks like you corrupted your partitions. You might need to flash the pit file to fix it. I think there is a thread related to that somewhere.
Request thread closed, resolved!
Steps taken not in any order.
Find a legit us TRLTE pit file. Message me for the TRLTE pit file or I'll make a separate thread for it.
Flash DOK2 stock firmware + proper pit file and have re-partition checked, along with flash BL and EFS clear.
Format ext SD card.
Downloaded the roms onto the formatted SD card.
Flash the latest TWRP recovery
Wipe all not including system x3 times.
Go to Wipe and then Format, check system format system type Yes
Go to install select your ROM.
Then select your GApps and custom kernel whatever else you want.
You might have to do the stock flashing and wiping and formatting several times before this works along with the re-partitioning.
Note a legit TRLTETMO pit file can be found : http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29568
The legit pit file name for TRLTETMO should be labeled: TRLTE_USA_TMO.pit

Hey bacon. I'm glad you figured it out. But in was wondering if you think me doing the pit file would work for my situation. Currently my phone is on a loop every time I flash dok2. And twrp will not flash any huge files. I can get kernels too flash but not roms. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I can't even get the firmware too boot up. Thanks in advance

Have you flashed the full ODIN package? Try erasing NAND and Re-Partition (with .pit in ODIN package)
I will usually just go about it that way when I go to stock to start off fresh.

It shouldn't be bootlooping, in fact it has to reboot into recovery right after ODIN flashes the stock package, it needs to erase + verify / flash CSC contents. It should pretty much boot up into stock. If you really want to flash TWRP (to flash a custom ROM), flash it. Right after you flash it, make sure you take the battery out and you reboot into recovery manually. Stock system prevents recovery from being overwritten.

Sorry I'm fairly new to this. So it did boot into custom recovery. I just want the phone back to stock without TWRP or any bells or whistles.
Its on the stock recovery interface. Should I wipe data/factory reset? Or reboot system now?

Once it's done with verification of CSC, just reboot system. It should take a few minutes to set itself up, then will throw you into the setup wizard. Once you're there you're good to go.

Also does it matter the dm-verity verification failed is showing at the bottom?
#1# I have a Samsung A6 Tab [SM-T580 Series] and unfortunately i installed a wrong custom recovery with Odin, because i forgot looking and the number.
Afterwards my Tab bricked. Download mode is still operational!
#2# The best advice i could find afterwards was to install a stock rom.
However i can't find either the correct stock rom or the correct twrp.tar.
#3# The problem arrived after i renamed twrp.tar to recovery.tar, because flashing or installing by first trying didn't work.
The XDA-Link to supported devices shows me only TWRP for A 10.1, A 9.7 and A8. That's why i am in a state of desperation.
My Questions so far are: Would replacing recovery.tar with the correct custom recovery or the original recovery by using Odin unbrick the Tab?
If not, where i may find the correct stock rom?

flashing stock mostly solve problems. i don't know what you type during searching, but when i googling "SM-T580" there r so many sites provide your firmware (sammobile, samsung-firmware.org). From MM (6) until android 7 and 7.1 available and you unable to find it?
top brand like sams*ng it is not hard to find any firmware or whatever related to i think
Thanks for answering, you are right. Sammobile has the firmware i need. I found it. However, i still would like to know if an official TWRP exists for my device, just for the future, if i would need the possibility to backup or restore files.

go here and check if your device TWRP officially supported.

Before flashing Stock Rom i extracted revocery.img from AP and converted it to recovery.tar without compressing and tried to solve the problem this way, re-flashing original recovery, but it failed.
So i tried it again and installed the newest version of Odin and in the second try i flashed AP, BL, and CSC.
Odin allows me to pass the full flashing process with no error.
But after the reset the tablet stucks in a loop of system updating and stops at 32%.
Notes in the download mode are "FRP-unlock: off" and "System: Custom" changed to "System: Offical. "
The red line "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" vanished.
However it still says "Recovery: Custom" in the download mode and this shouldn't be possible after flashing Stock Rom.
At this moment the following errors appear.
No Support SINGLE_SKU
Supported API: 3
E: failed to mount/efs (invalid argument)
dm-verity error...
E: failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_kernel_manual
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_kernel_manual
E: failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_locale
Does this mean the partitions are damaged?
The only advices i found on google were, to flash with re-partitioning and to find the pit file. But i am afraid this would make it worse. Should i go to a repair service center or is it possible to still fix it?
If you download the stock firmware and flash the whole rom via odin and look in i believe is ap or csc.tar you should find the pit file extract it via 7zip or other alternative and load it with the pit selector in odin and reflash stock rom including the bl,ap,cp,csc and you should have a fully booting A6

Ok, i found the pit-file in CSC, but a CP file doesn't exist for SMT-580 Wi-Fi as far as i know.
I assume that i need to flash with re-partitioning and that i need to get sure the pit-file is for a 16 GB device.
But will this really solve my "[invalid argument]-issue"???

yes theoretically it should solve all your issues and you should be able to reboot the device

Ok, flashing with Odin works, showing me no error, but i am still stucked in a bootloop. If i try to get in to the recovery mode it tells me, that it installs the update.
It does that, until it reaches 32%. I have tried flashing the stockrom with re-partitioning and the pit-file. Didn't work. Next thing i tried was to start Odin as Admin and with a newer version of the firmware. Didn't work. What changed is that "Current Binary: Custom" to "Current Binary: Samsung Official".
System Status is still: "Custom".
It still refuses to mount the system or to get to 100%, so that i could see the recovery mode with all it's options.
Could it be, that the CPU or the Memory is damaged?
Try to flash twrp then wipe factory data eeset and format data then flash stock again and see if that helps you boot to stock

Make you post readable for everyone using the dark theme and you might get more response.
What exactly did you flash with Odin and what happened, other than it didn't work?

You shouldn't have used any tool.
You could have easily recovered your unknown baseband by simply flashing your stock firmware.
Retry flashing the Stock firmware. But this time, do a wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode first.
Use the latest stock firmware that is available for your country/CSC.
If you can find a pit file, include that in odin flash with the stock firmware. Put a checkmark on the "repartition" option.
It's normal for the device to take 5-10 minutes or more during the initial boot.

i found this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ide-fix-n950f-efs-failed-to-mount-dm-t3831184
i beg you can you plz help understand it
Extract Stock firmware AP file (rename .md5 to .tar)
this i cant understand wich should i rename or what i do
Rename dqmdbg.img to efs.img (or smallest image must be smaller than 8000 KB). Extract Dqmdbg.img.lz4 so it’s just “Dqmdbg.img” and then rename it to efs.img and put that one in a tar. Other option is downloading a file that’s already made this way if your bootloader is binary 4, Saves you trouble of extracting / renaming: http://www.mediafire.com/file/589wuc...f/efs.tar/file (if you download this file just move onto number 3)
Add file new efs.img into tar archive.
Flash tar as AP file in odin + download mode
Reboot download mode
Flash Combination with odin + nand erase option on Edit: suggest you to flash stock rom first and oem unlock, don't need to wait for 7 days if imei is 0000 skip combination step
Device Should boot into Factory binary
Use IME to restore imei using *#06# (or imei 0000 in stock rom) Edit: This step is not required if efs backup is restored successful
Your device should have dm-verify failed in recovery due to drk error
Continue drk bypass for dm verify error below to continue

I have the same problem with my note 9. Im looking if anyone can provide me with efs file of N960F Binary 3 so i can get it unbricked again.
I found this website but it has efs files for binary 1 and 2 not 3. Will it still work if i use binary 2 efs?
