[Q] Odin stuck on "data.img" i can not flash a firmware and Note Semi Died (Help)

[Q] Odin stuck on "data.img" i can not flash a firmware and Note Semi Died (Help)
Hi Guys,
I hope someone can help me, I accidentally interrupted a factory resect and from this moment I can not flash with Odin .. in detail ....
I can do:
1a I can successfully flash a firmware with Odin with only one file
2a I can successfully flash a kernel with Odin
3a I can go to recovery, any, either Samsung or CWM 3E recovery if i flash to CF-Root Kernel
4a I recorey files from flash, cooked and kernels.
I can not do:
1b I can not flash with success with Odin firrmware with more file and Pit, Odin stuck on "data.img"
2b I can not restore a backup nandroid, because I get I get the following errors:
Error while restoring / date!
E: Can not open / chace / recovery / log
E: Can not open / chace / recovery / log
E: Can not open / chace / recovery / last _log
E: Can not open / chace / recovery / last _log
3b I can not load the system, i can not turn on the Notes, only sometimes into Boot loop and other time stuck on written "Notes Galaxy Samsung GT-N7000"
Other problems:
- If I make the point 1a after the phone sometimes goes directly into Boot loop, other time go to 3E Samsung recovery and I get the following errors:
"And: failed to mount / data (Unknown error: 0)"
"E: install_application_for_customer: Can not mount / data"
"Your storage not prepared yet. Please use UI menus for format and reboot actions."
"copy application failed"
Even doing a full wipe, restarting the Notes, remain on "Notes Samsung Galaxy GT-N7000"
- If I make the point 4a flashing cooked, the flash apparently successfully, but at reboot Note stuck on written "Notes Galaxy Samsung GT-N7000"
I'm desperate, I do not know what else to do to revive my Note...
I hope someone can help me...
Really Thanks
Ps. Sorry for my bad English
Try this,
download abyssnote 3.9 kernal and put it on external sdcard somehow (maybe by taking the sd card out and using a card reader.
boot into recovery, flash the abyss note kernal, go to advanced in recovery and reboot recovery,
now try restoring the nandroid backup u have.
See if this helps..
Edit: or you can download a stock firmware in .tar format, put it in PDA(in odin) see if it flashes successfully,
you can use the firmware in this post, download the three files from mirror 2 and read instruction to join them, and flash it in Odin PC

Hi dead-angel
thanks for your answer and for your help..
i had flash abyss 3.9 (RedPill Recovery) and after i make restore of nandroid backup but nothing of good..
the restore was interrupted and i get this error:
Error while restoring / date!
E: Error in / chace / recovery / log
(read-Only file system)
i wanna also try your second suggestion, but some link are not available
anyway i have just tryed so many time to flash with odin I can successfully flash a firmware with Odin with only one file the phone sometimes goes directly into Boot loop, other time go to 3E Samsung recovery and I get the following errors:
"And: failed to mount / data (Unknown error: 0)"
"E: install_application_for_customer: Can not mount / data"
"Your storage not prepared yet. Please use UI menus for format and reboot actions."
"copy application failed"
Even doing a full wipe, restarting the Notes, remain on "Notes Samsung Galaxy
GT-N7000"
while I can not flash a firmware with success with Odin and more file and Pit, Odin stuck on "data.img"
frustrating situation
Your Welcome
Try the mediafire links from that second suggestion, Im sure they work, and that shows up as single file in Odin, It should flash if single file fashing works in your PC odin
If mediafire is blocked in your country or by your ISP, try any Proxy bypass site to access the mediafire.
Best of luck mate
Ok, thanks Again Angel

Hello everyone
I am having a similar problem: I wanted to downgrade my Note to stock GB because I lost root on an ICS leak. I have done this successfully before but today pc odin suddenly hangs in the middle of flashing the factoryfs.img of a stock kernel (I used this one but tried others as well: N7000XXKJ4_N7000VD2KJ1_N7000XXKJ4_HOME.tar.md5).
Because of this I can now only boot the phone into download mode. I have also tried to use a pit file (as you can see in the screenshot, where I used this file: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit), because I thought the partitions might have been corrupted or changed by the ICS ROM but this didn't help either.
Do you have experienced this before? What else could I try?
Thanks a lot for any help
suxi
Edit: I have tried this (quote below)from a different post and odin still hangs after the first 1mm of factoryfs.img flashing
http://hotfile.com/dl/141060546/b0c7...1_OXA.rar.html
download this firmware, it's gonna take awhile but worth a try..
try flashing this rom using PC odin.
pit: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit
pda: CODE_N7000XXLA1_CL868264_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.m d5
phone: MODEM_N7000XXLA1_REV_05_CL1093393.tar.md5

check re-partition, auto reboot, F. reset time.

[Q] Failed to mount efs, repartition failed, internal memory 0.0mb : PLease help

Hi friends ,
I am using Samsung S Advance since last eight month, Till now i have flash more than 300 nightly and custom roms over my mobile and evry time i succeeded, but two days back when i got stuck in omnirom I use ODIN to Flash Stock JB . My Phone Boot After that And got stuck on initial setting wizard everytime i try to pass that it shows
unfortunately samsung setting wizard stopped , so i can not pass that point ,
So i flash stock firmware again and again but everytime same problem
Then I reboot in Recovery which show message " fail to mount efs( invalid argument)
I ignore it and Start Recovery again and root my mobile using update.zip(which is temporary recovery) and then flash cocore kernel And try to restore my backup( I have 6 different rom backup , i tried them all) but every rom got stuck in bootloop .
Then I try to Flash CM10.2 but that also didn't work
Then I Flash some custom rom like sami-os and galexperia which are based on stock firmware and they start working but those roms are freezing a lot, When i try to install any software in those rom they says insufficient memory , I Check storage and it shows
"DEVICE MEMORY 0.00B"
Everytime I reboot all user data get wiped and evrytime setting wizard appear like first boot
I have tried to mount efs, data, ,system via cwm . There is error to mount efs via cwm . I mount data, system successfully but after every reboot they are unmounted.
So Made some search and finally decide to repartition via odin using PIT file given somewhere in this forum but odin shows "fail"
My Friend suggest me to revert back to gb but i couldn't find Indian firmware ( All sites give link to hotfile page which is banned), so i followed post in xda about downgrading from JB to GB and try to flash PIT, PDA , CSC file given by OP via odin but it fails everytime .
So again I flash JB via odin but same result( Got stuck in setting wizard)
So I Tried to root again using update.zip(which i mentioned earlier and which works for me everytime in past) but it switched off during update in recovery so now i can not start cwm now and can use only stock recovery and unable to flash custom rom.
I have Given All Details about how problem start and here is summary of all problems
1. fail to mount efs(invalid argument)
2. 0.0b internal memory
3. unable to repartition using ODIN
4. user data deleted on every boot and boot as first boot
5. can not pass setup wizard in stock firmware after flashing stock via Odin
I think i have messed up with internal memory and which is causing problem or my recovery is damaged.
please give me solution .
If any one have INDIAN GB firmware with pit, csc , pda, bootloader please upload and give link , i searched everywhere no link is working.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I have successfully downgrade to GB and 0.0b internal memory problem is solved , for detail read 7th post
But still FACING " efs error" and unable to upgrade to jb
Every time i flash jb with odin it get stuck in start up in setting wizard with message " process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and then " setting wizard stopped"
please help me to solve this
Any one need to know how i solved my problem of 0.0mb and downgrade GB he can read post and even PM me.

If your phone is I9070 and not I9070P then use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195673
After that you can use your country GB. We all downgrade this way, and after that use any other firmware.

is your baseband working ok? I had a similar problem when flashing a rom, couldn't get out of setup wizard and also my baseband was XXXX as soon as i fixed the baseband and re-flashed the problem was gone, here is how:
I've flashed modemfs.img.md5 now 3G is working.
On another device (same model and region) I did:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5
Copied generated file to my sdcard and did:
dd if=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Reboot and it's done.

[Q] How to reflash the Partitions?

Hello everyone,
I have had a motorola al my life (Moto e, g 2, g3, now a g4) so i am not used to the entire "odin" thing (and i also prefer fastboot honestly).
The problem is, as dumb as i am, i've ticked "Nand erase all" in the checkboxes...
I've flashed the stock firmware but i've also flashed twrp... Out of the logs of twrp i found out that Nand deleted the partition /data...
Twrp/stock recovery are not able to write the new partition as it is R/O... Very frustrating. Device can't boot up either because it can't write new data (because R/O)...
I think a need the official PIT file to re-partition the memory... I've downloaded a pit file(i think the source is not afficial) but if i flash it, and after that flash the stock firmware, i still get the same error in twrp (Can't mount /data, Invalid argument)...
Can someone Upload the PIT file from his Samsung SM-G800F?
Please the official from a WORKING device, not a download link to some shady site...
Thanks in advance,
B.

I've never had to mess with these pit files but you can use fastboot with Samsung, you only need Odin for flashing stock Roms. The can't mount data bug was in the 3.0.0 version of twrp if I remember correctly. Try switching to the latest build and you might be in business. Also where and what are the pit files that you need? I'm running the M but they are the same phone.

Those pit files is what u use in odin to re-partition your internal memory, as i tought i lost the /data partition.
But i'll give your tip a try and update my twrp, i was indeed using 3.0.0.... Thank you already!:laugh:

Repairing the A6 after installing unsuitable recovery.tar

#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
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
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"???

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?
