im sorry, im not quite sure what you mean. im kind of a noob with odin.
Incorrect mounts or efs folder gone either of them. I hope you backed up the efs folder before hand....

well if the efs folder's gone you can't do anything about it....lets hope for now that it's the incorrect mounts that got you here. Tell us what exactly did you do on odin before you hit the flash button.

all i did was add the tar file to the "pda" spot, nothing else was selected other than auto reboot. everything flashes fine. if i do this same method with jh2, everything works great, just not with jk4... doesnt make sense to me.
would you not need to flash all files to update correct (PDA,Modem + CSC)
i tried that and it just crashed.
what crashed? ODIN or the handset? are you using a PIT file also? and all lagfixes disabled prior to flashing?
Hey I Have the same problem now. Did you solve yours? If so can you please tell me how did you do it?
help
I had this Problem when unlocking a Galaxy S.
All i did was take the sim card out reflash then put simcard back in it didnt show restarted phone with simcard in and it worked.

ok i recently got a european open to all networks samsung galaxy tab,
now i decided to install a custom rom last night with horrible results, my phone is now stuck on the samsung boot screen and will not load properly,
here are the steps i took that ended me up in this mess,
i installed rom manager from android market,
then installed clockwork mod from inside rom manager, following the exact steps i was given but heres where i think i went wrong,
at some point it asked u back up everything onto an sd card, now i thought i had an sd inside it already but i didnt and thats what i think caused all the trouble,
i backed up all my files anyway onto the internal memory b4 goin into recovery mode, after completely wiping the phone as it saids u shud do, i then proceeded to load the modaco rom that i had installed into the "download" section of my memory and thats where it said the exact following words....
Checking /system...
E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
/system may be rfs. checking...
checking /date...
checking /database...
checking /cache...
filesystems need to be converted to ext4.
a backup and restore will now take place.
if anything goes wrong, your backup will be named before-ext4-convert-1297008631. try restoring it incase of error.
E:failed to mount /sdcrard (no such file or directory)
now i've tried restoring it and backing it up but all it repeats is the same thing, i know i messed up but now all i want to know is how can i fix it?
please any help would be much appreciated.

A brandnew start from scratch with Odin and repartioning with the rom from Rotohammer JMIv1.0 or v2.0 wouldt be my advice. You need the pit-file as well. Can be found on his server.

First extract the P1000XWJJ3.rar. You shouldt be left with a single tar-file?! If so
Well if you have the right files. Start Odin. On the left you see the option 'repartion', tick that box. On the left you see pit. Tick that box and load the pit-file. Tick the box PDA and load the tar.file you extracted.
Start the tablet in download modus and attach it to youre pc. You shouldt see on top left a yellow box. Then just press start in Odin
beware that all on yore tablet will be deleted.
here is a very good guide with pictures.

Ok great. at least you got it working again....
Now you need to flash the baseband-modem that you can find in the download link below. Flash it in Odin. Uncheck repartion. Check 'phone' and load the modemfile you downloaded. Its a tar.file. Leave it as it is. Then press start and the baseband will be installed.
Then you have to set-up the APN from youre telecom-provider and you will be up and running.....

OSM All threads completed ( succeeded 0/ failed 1)
i dont understand why it would say that, could it be cos the .tar is xxjmf and the Rom by roto uses jmi? u think u could help? thanks again honestly, you've been a life saver.

Hey mate, seems I am in a similar predicament here. Just 2 days back I flashed my Tab to Roto JMI v2 from a stock Asian firmware (DDJK3 I suppose) due to a bad Modaco flash that went really bad. Wiped off my data from god knows what areas. Now I am facing an issue that I am not able to understand or solve.
I was using Titanium Backup to remove a system app without Chuck Norris mode, which meant I had to reboot device and it would delete it OS level and say reboot to system. But once I click on reboot system an Exclamation mark just comes across the screen and NOW I CAN'T BOOT INTO my system. neither to i see the options it was earlier showing me upon Pwer + Vol Key up. The only option left for me is to reflash it using Odin.
Any Ideas mate? Reflashing again and again is not the solution right?
Thanks & Cheers!

Well, first of all. Removing system app ad hoc is not really clever to do. But you cant get into the recovery so you are able to clear cache and do a factory-reset? Volume-up+Power on and holding the volume-upbutton untill you get into the recovery?
If not you have to reflash from scratch with Odin. Use the pit/file and check repartion.
In the beginning, i can use my note 3 n9005 SFR as usual. But once i tried flashing rom, it showed as error (fail) because I chose BL instead of AP. And i tried to fix it by follow the instructions as Mr. Firasusman suggest me as said in the this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2614787. It solved the problem my phone can now get into the normal screen but i found a new problem. I put in sim card but there is no network signal and I also lost imei when i checked in phone status. What should I do to fix this problem? Anyone, please help me. Thanks a lot.
IMEI = Unknown
S/N change
Baseband ok

Check whether EFS folder is backed up by flashed rom in sdcard. If your lucky you can use backup file to get imei number back. Few posts also suggest that flashing back stock rom also get back imei. I am not sure of it. Better back up efs to your pc.

What is EFS? After My first flashed firmware, I couldn't get into the normal screen. I even tried to flash back with stock rom via odin, but failed everytimes. I've tried to get back stock rom by using kies, but no luck; and stuck in Odin mode when I turn on my phone.

EFS is a folder in phone's file system which saves your phone model, IMEI number and lot more details, Important folder. Flashing ROM the efs folder got corrupted causing the loss of imei number. Try "radicalisto" reply and update the issue.

Hi guys, i have some big problems with my n910f, tried to upload a pic to facebook and my phone crashed.
It simply does nothing, not booting, not charging, download and stock recovery are working.
I tried everything possible>
*flashed 3 different stock firmwares with odin
*tried a pit file repartion in odin
*wiped cache, did a few factory resets from stock revovery
*bought a new battery
*tried to root and flash a custom recovery but doesnt work
It is simply as bricked as it could be, the only information about this i have is stock recovery telling me unable to mount /data
So it seems my filesystem got corrupted as hell
The question is, how do i repair it?
Like i said pit file and bootloader flash did nothing, odin lets me flash everything without an error but it doesnt help.
I assume i could somehow repair it with adb fastboot but how?
Any help is welcome!

It may or may not help but I would sure try Kies. You NSFW get done errors like Kies telling you is not compatible bit but I would try the firmware initialization.

I manage to fix the issue with storage partition, i used a pit file and the one file firmware in csc button, that made the hole data partition rewriten again so the phone is able to boot properly.
Hope you gays this may help.

Hi.
So I was on twrp and i flashed a rom that didn't work. It ended up changing my boot animation but the file was damaged. I couldn't boot my phone. Then I said to myself, "Oh, now it cant get ANY worse..".
Then i had the best idea ever not really tho! I deleted my /system/ file cus somehow i thought it would just come up with a backup from a long tome ago. Turns out it didn't. Can anyone here give me a twrp backup of their /system/ file so i can actually use my phone?
Best regards,

There's no need for TWRP backup. Just reflash stock ROM.
Here's a guide about how to do that .
That might be a problem. See, I don't remember what firmware i have. I only remember the SM-J500FN. How can i see what ROM to download? Also, my country isn't on the list

1) It doesn't matter which firmware you've had.
2) The country doesn't matter neither. You can flash firmwares from other countries and you won't have any problems.

Boot to Download or recovery mode it will tell you your current binary version.
However as said it doesn't matter just download the latest firmware for your device region.
I tried installing UK firmware on my Galaxy S8+ using Odin, but it got stuck at system.img and now I can only boot the phone into download mode.
I've tried installing the original firmware as well but it also gets stuck at system.img.
Has this happened to anyone else? And is there anything I can do to fix this or am I ****ed?
Thank you very much in advance for any help

Since u trying to flash samsung official firmware it shouldn't matter. Dont know what to advice as u tried pretty much everything i would do.
Maybe someone with more insights and knowledge what to do could help you but dunno.
Search the web all i can say.
Can u boot into the recovery? Maybe try to flash twrp and format everything from there ?

Have you fixed it already? If not try flashing everything with odin and also in 'Pit' tab put dreamlte .pit file from inside CSC .md5 file(open with rar)
Double check your files make sure you're not flashing an old fw and your Odin
After that, you probably try to flash using a non original data cable, its not a must but some cables can cause that

I've triple-checked everything. Both Odin and the files are all up to date, and the files are from the same firmware I had on the phone before it got bricked.
I'm going to try using firmware from SamMobile instead of SamDB.org, and will post back with results.
UPDATE:
Flashed firmware from SamMobile, it went through and my phone works again. Can't believe I spent $7 on SamDB for faster download speed and all I got was some files that don't even work properly. Next time I'll be more patient I guess
