This morning my phone crashed while I was trying to run gReader. Upon reboot, the phone would just hang at a black screen after the initial SGS Logo.
I decided to recover and put the device into download mode, launched ODIN and tried to flash JP3, JM5 and JG8, all to no avail. At the reboot after ODIN is complete I get the Samsung recovery utilities and then an error message as follows:
Update media please wait ...
E:Can't Mount /dev/blk/mmcblk0p1 (invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount SDCARD:
copy default media content failed
Trying to format the internal SDCARD from Recovery Utils gives the same error
I am stuck! Any ideas?
that's beyond me.
you got into download mode, that's good
but when flashing you get that error, that's not good
did you use the 1 click lag fix?
never mind i see your siggy you were on Modaco rom... hmm...
try Odin-ing a stock ROM, and see if that fixes your phone?
then Odin back whatever is your custom ROM
You are further through the flash process than I was when I ran into problems, plus have a Vibrant over a European Galaxy S - but I'd still try a 'blank' flash with Odin. Enter download mode, connect up and let Odin run without any files linked in. This got me back into the phone and then allowed for a proper new fw flash thereafter.
No matter what I did I could not get the internal SDCARD recognized. A trip to the Bell store and a DOA swap and now I have a new device.
Any update on how to fix this?

the phone is dead after flash with odin
and now the boot is dead i tray the jig and download mode cables didn't work
I bought Riff box and I did resurrection but it's hang on 11% and give me this error
ERROR: Failed due to multiple communication errors. Terminating at 0x00000000
now when i connect the phone to usb it ask for driver for
Sec S5pc110 test driver
is anybody faced this problem before and got a solution?
I have never had/read about this particular problem...
Let me clear up some questions:
1- Is there download or recovery mode available?
2- Does the phone charge?
no it was just black screen
but now it can enter download mode after many tries with Riff box
but after flashing with Odin it shows this message :
update media, please wait...
E:Cant mout /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA:
copy default media conent failed.
and some times shows this :

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:"
Now when I press power button it shows me I9000 shows the animation and sound then goes black screen
Flash a full rom like jpu
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Or try the Darky's resurection rom then flash JL2
After, root the thing and install SpoofFW to set the good product code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...alaxy_S_Series#Product_Codes_to_use_with_Kies
then, plug it in kies and let it update to stock rom.
I had the same error before also. Flashing jpu with odin cleared things right up. Been working like a champ ever since. There is a guide on here somewhere that goes into great detail. Good luck .

try to flash stable JM6 rom (2.1 i think) and than flash rom you want to
I had this before as well.. and I believe I used JL2 to fix it... and then at the time used kies to go to KC1 and then flashed with odin again later..
Edit: All happy now, a change of pc solved the problem of not detecting the device!
Hi all! I have another challenge for you!
Right, I've got myself in a tizz with my Defy +. While updating between CM10.1 versions I found myself in a situation where I couldn't get past the boot animation. So I loaded the TWRP restore I had made prior to updating...
Except it wouldn't, instead it came up with 'Failed' each time I tried any of the TWRP backups I had created. So the next step was to wipe partitions and start flashing various ROMs until I found one what worked. Except they didn't work either. Eventually I thought the best idea would be to just turn the phone off and see where I was with booting.
So power on, boot logo, blue light, red light then... nothing. Just the boot logo static. Went into the custom bootloader to go into recovery again, nothing. Pressing Custom recovery simply loops back to the top bootloader screen.
Ok next step, flash .sbf and start from scratch. So into the Moto bootloader it is to plug in and flash except... it's no longer detected by my computer.
"Ok" I think, "We'll just flash files from the SD card after I use an external SD card reader.
Except now when I enter Moto recovery to flash the TWRP recovery I get:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verifiaion failed
Installation aborted
So to recap:
1) Tried to flash and update, failed
2) Tried to recover, recoveries wouldn't write (I think this is becaue I'd changed to EXT4 on /data and /cache and had forgotten to go back to EXT3 before trying to recover)
3) Tried to boot, epicly failed
4) Tried to flash .sbf, Defy+ won't appear in RSDLite 5.7 with latest driver
5) Tried to flash from SD card, sig verification failed
6) Googletastic for the last four days
Notes:
a) I CAN charge the Defy+ using the wall charger but I get '?' for the battery level indicator but...
b) In Cmod bootloader 2.1 (Which I can use a little) it shows the correct battery level
c) I /was/ getting some errors with not being able to mount /cache from the moto recovery but I've since used the cmod bootmenu 2.1 to set it back to ext3 and it's all happy now, those errors aren't appearing
d) Plugging in my Defy red lens I get W8 x64 detecting the correct portal drivers and such but when I go to moto bootloader this device also doesn't appear in RSDLite
e) Both devices prompt windows to install a Motorola Flash Interface driver in Device Manager when plugged in in moto bootloader mode and neither device appears in RSDLite despite the fact the program is running in Admin mode
f) Looking at the logs in bootloader, it appears that I might not have formatted anything from ext4 to 3, everything I select in the cmod bootmenu returns .E:Error in /system/... , (Result: Invalid arguement) , Done..
So at the moment I think I need to acheive one of the following:
1) Find a file that allows me to write any useful data to /system like a recovery or some of those bootmenu files that passes the signature verification
2) Find a way to troubleshoot RSDLite so I can actually flash .sbf and get out of this hellhole
Many regards!
Alexis
If your custom recovery is not working, then you cannot do anything other than flash an sbf(nothing except data and cache wipe can be done via stock recovery): this is due to the locked boot loader(recoveries cannot be simply flashed from the stock recovery as you're trying to do)

Success (ish)!
Yes I swapped to a different machine and then upgraded the version of RSD Lite installed on it from 4.7 to 6.1.5

And flashed the 'lower' of the two .sbf's from the links on this forum for the British variant. After a DEA1 error (Phone is dead, code corrupt and all the bad things) I managed to flash the file.
As of yet I've not managed to get out of the bootloop but I've not carried out the requisite steps as mentioned in the "So you think you've bricked your Defy/Defy+" thread.
Lessons learned:
1) Motorola drivers and RSD Lite are pennickety, you will probably need to mix them up in order to get them to behave properly
2) If all else fails, use a different computer
3) You will probably need to flash over and over, while making every effort to not muck them up. Be aware the efuse system only has limited uses before it's useless though...
My saga continues, from no USB support hopefully to a fully working device again
In the end switching PC then doing the factory reset from moto recovery let the phone boot, all standard but the dodgy USB stuff at the first post is what sent me away from the right track.
Good night guys, so there's my problem:
I was on DN 0.6.1 custom ROM, TWRP 3.0.2.0 and rooted. Today, i wanted to go back to stock ROM, so, I downloaded the stock firmware throught sammobile, and tried to install it throught ODIN 3.11, but it's stopped at system.img, and remained stuck in it for a long time. so i decided to restart the phone..
Then it's showed the follow message:
firmware upgrade encountered an issue note 4. Please select recovery mode on kies and try again.
So, i tried to re-flash throught ODIN, but stucked at system.img again, after it, I downloaded KIES and tried restore it, but it's stopped at 2%.
I wasn't abble to go to recovery mode, only download mode, so, i extracted the ROM file, and flashed only the boot.img through ODIN. Now it's boot to recovery...
I wiped data/cache, but the following error showed up:
E: Failed to mount system (invalid argument).
and now i can't find a solution for it.. tried to do amost anything that i could find on the internet, but none solved my problem...
I'm wanting to flash PIT + CSC + PDA file, using the repartition option on ODIN, but i'm afraid that may brick my phone for ever...
I'm following this tutorial by now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...te-4-pit-files-repartiton-f-g-c-t-w8-t3282641
And i need this CSC file, because my phone is the C version, could someone give me link to download it ? couldn't find in any place.
ANd there's someone who could help me ? i'm very concerned about it because i don't have money to buy another phone at the moment...
Thanks, and yes, already looked at XDA for a answer but couldn't fine any.
THANK YOU :good:
Anyone ?
Hello guys,
I need extremely technical help as no longer know what to do.
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge device, which installed the rom BobCat and everything went well until then.
Later I decided to install another rom to test KingRom that left me unsatisfied, because I thought it had some bugs. Had the TWRP 3.0.0 recovery and decided to upgrade to 3.0.2, everything went well.
At one point I do not remember when or how if was when install back, downgrade to TWRP3.0.0, I do not remember if it was via Odin or TWRP, it happens that the installation stopped halfway. Then unplug the device, restarted in recovery mode and got the following message "E: falied to mount EFS (Invalid Argumen)", I could not restart the device (Boot Loop, and stucked at Samsung Logo) except in Recovery Mode, which also made to stay without IMEI number and Serial Number.
I googled until I came to this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-e...ssues-t3379516
I followed all the steps explained, I back up EFS_backup and RADIO_bakcup partitions.
Installed FACTORY BINARY G935, everything went well. After restarted, already had the correct IMEI number but still did not present the S / N.
After all that, i tried to install Stock Firmware via Odin, from here started the problems that could not solve.
In the first attempt Odin stucked in "System" (also used the PIT file with the same CSC ... .i do not know if I was right using PIT?). Restarted the device forcibly, entered the stock Recovery, did a complete wipe and always get this message "E: falied to mount System (Invalid argument), I returned to install Factory Binary, then reboot in Recovery and the same message no longer appeared.
Again I try to install the Stock Firmware and Odin always stucks in System, or NAND writing, or Partition, etc. I've tried various Stock Firmware, with and without PIT files, always without success.
Only Factory Binary that successfully installs. The TWRP via Odin also but when device restarts to enter Recovery Mode always get the message at the top of the display:
"Recovery image signature check Fail"
"Reboot to avoid Warranty bit set."
1. Does the partitions are in good shape? how can I check it?
2- I did good or bad using PIT file?
3- Does the problem is running Windows XP through a Virtual Machine?
4 What else can I do?
In all actions used and am using a Macbook 4.1, OsX Lion 10.7.5, Odin 3.11 Windows XP Professional 32bit through Oracle VM VirtualBox 3.4.38
Device:
Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935F) CSC = SWC SwissCom
1st Original Firmware: (I guess was 1?) G935FXXS1APG5_G935FVFG1APF3_SWC
Need help Please
Thank you so very much!
Hi, I think I f***** up badly...
I wanted to root my S7 Edge SM-G935F running android 7.0 so I enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock.
I used Odin to flash a CF auto-root I found for the 935F for android 7 and the site just said I had to install SuperSU after that but it was just boot looping.
After that I installed TWRP for my phone and installed the zip with Superuser. I kept receiving the error "failed to mount /data (invalid argument)".
I googled it and found a video that said I had to change my system "file system" from EXT4 to FAT. It was stuck so I rebooted the phone...
Now I can't load TWRP (it's stuck at the loading screen) to do a factory reset and when I do a normal boot it doens't go further than the S7 Edge screen, it doesn't go to the flashing SAMSUNG screen.
Now when I choose to reboot in Odin mode it says "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."
I tried to do that but it says "unsupported device" and it doesn't see my phone in the Emergency Software Recovery tab.
I could have done a factory reset before but it's not the first time I root a phone and I never had a problem so I didn't back anything up but I have some very important pictures on my phone for school.
I enabled adoptable storage so I couldn't just take out the 128gb Samsung Pro + micro sd and copy the pictures on my pc.
Can somebody please tell me how to factory reset my S7 Edge even if I lose all my data. Sorry for my English it's my third language.
Thanks in advance
If I can remember correctly the "An error has occurred while updating th......." screen is actually the same as download/odin mode, so you can odin flash back stock rom.
Your data has probably already been lost during file system changing which automatically format /data.
Also I have never seen any phone run on FAT file system. S7 only support EXT4 and F2FS(required custom rom and kernel). So be careful next time.
AFAIK, there's currently no root available on stock nougat touchwiz rom unless you use modified kernel&rom.
For TWRP to be able to read /data.
/Data need to be FORMAT in TWRP once to remove encryption, so that TWRP can read it.
