Samsung S7710 Xcover2 - device memory lost (0.00B) !

Hi!
I have big problem with my Xcover2
I have uploaded accidentally recovery from another model Galaxy S3 mini (i8190) from here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390334956548391158 after reboot i saw stock recovery, i reboot device. System start normally, but after this operation I was no longer able to enter recovery mode Only download mode works.
So I have uploaded the original ROM using ODIN3 v3.07, firmware i got from here: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-S7710 but i still can`t get in recovery mode using keys Vol-up + Home + Power, phone reboot after that keys So i can`t wipe data.
A few times I've used the ODIN and Kies trying to fix the phone. Flashing was done without any problems, there were no errors. But the phone reboot just after boot screen with the name of 'Samsung' and the phone model - bootloop :/
And then in the ODIN uploading another ROM again ticked the option "Nand Erase All" - after was done, there was no bootscreen at boot, on the display instead of startup screen was blank screen like this for 3sec
and after that was startup animation, system start normally I setup language, date etc, but then i discover that device memory was lost 0.00B
can`t receive SMS because there is no memory space :/
When the phone restarts then I have to set up all the settings again
When connecting the phone into the computer I see something like this:
Download mode works fine :
How can I fix the device memory ? (( Any suggestions, ideas? Every time I reboot device I can see blankscreen for ~3sec, and when phone boot I have to set up phone language and other settings again.
Sorry for my English

I am not an expert but i see you have wrong size on phone, reports as 30GB.
I think you need orginal image INCLUDING .pit file
But i have not been able to find online

After going through a bunch of stuff trying to fix my mobile data, I have ended up in this predicament.. I found a link to a full service the full service rom in another thread but the link was dead.
Does anyone have the rom and pit file? It would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

Fixed
Turns out I didn't need the full ROM after all. I was able to flash CWM and then mount and format /data. I'm not sure why this worked when a complete reset didn't but I'm thankful it did.

Full Service Rom
Hey Veimus you could be the Full Service Rome upload again?
Or someone else has a link?
I can think of the Z3X box as a student not afford

The recovery your talking about is cwm not default s4 recovery you'll find that recovery here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281367
After its installed try wiping data then cache then going into advanced and wiping dalvik cache
S4 Info

did you try from the stock rom to go to recovery many and wipe to factory default again...
Have you tried to install a recovery like Philz and see if you can access the file system of your GS4.
You'll also find more wiping option
Edit: oh great some1 posted before me.
also try to do it from your official rom

In the Thread you point out... read AGAIN about PIT
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
Download the PIT and follow the exact procedure... it's not like flashing a new firmware so read which boxes you check
Try the PIT file with / without the firmware
check also this thread... in case you have a pit related error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283919
I'm sure you have all you need to recover your phone.
When you will have recovered your phone, update this thread saying you solved your problem.
check also this thread... in case you have a pit related error.
OH, don't forget to update my thanks counter

Hello,
I saw an answer to this problem in another thread. You have to swipe the phone by starting it with VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER, and then whatever options you have to swipe everything.

Problem SOLVED!!!
hey guys i have solved my greatest problem since i started rooting back on my N7100,my 1st s4 and now my new s4..
thank you for all who helped me,after more than 24hours of reading and waiting for you replies and doing some intervention on my s4,i have recover it..i will post here how i did it for reference for others who might encounter this problem same as mine:
first of all i have noticed this just after successfully revived my phone, you have to WIPE THE DATA/FACTORY REFORMAT via recovery mode before and after doing any firmware update,then i just removed my battery may be a minute and put it back again every time i do flashing..
i used odin version 1.85 not version 3.04..i first chose the pit file and flash it.(when i tried flashing the pit and stock rom together it always ended up to fail)..so i decided to chose to flash the pit file only using odin v1.85(it automatically ticked the "repartition option on this odin version" then it passed..after that as i have said remove battery,wipe data,then i removed again the battery,then put it back and do download/odin mode on my phone,then i flashed stock rom from www.sammoble.com, i searched for globe carrier since my phone was locked on that carrier, then after 2-3minutes(be patient and don't do anything while waiting) my phone backed to life!!!

Hi guys, long time lurker here anyway i've always flashed my S4 with odin and not a single problem always flashed STOCK firmwares
but today i recently discovered a new firmware on the list for the GT-I9500 Exynos Octa (version) - this firmware to be in fact I9500ZNUCMI1
but now its bombed... it hanged and hanged at booting for 20 min then it shut it self off turned it back on 'the firmware encounter a problem' message popped up... i cannot go into recovery mode AT ALL (just download mode) so i thought i will flash my previous stock firmware known as I9500XXUBMG9 but now i cant even do that..... odin just gives me a god damn fail - FOR THE LOVE OF ANDROID HELP ME
- Kies is not running in the background
- USB connections are fine
- Cables are fine
So do i have to fear this is the end ? lol i cannot believe this happened to me on a STOCK firmware.... (lucky for me... all my stuff is backed up on sd)
Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you can get into Download mode, all hope is not lost. Uninstall and resinstall drivers, Odin, etc. reboot.
Odin back to stock, immediately boot into stock recovery, wipe data, reboot.
Done.

The good news is that Download mode is still working. AS long as that's the case, you can get it back. Just keep trying. Switch PCs, switch cables, switch ports, re download a different stock ROM, etc. do whatever it takes to try every variable you can think of.
Eventually, you'll find what's causing it and the ROM will flash successfully. When that happens, get immediately into recovery and wipe data.
(Remove the battery after it flashes, but it back in and hold vol-up+home+power.)
After the data wipe....
Reboot.
Like I said, Download mode means you can find a way to flash, but working with Odin to resolve these issues can sometimes be a PITA. I've had the same thing myself before. Just don't give up. Try to stay calm, and work your way through it. You'll get it eventually.
Edit: Just noticed that you flashed a CHINA firmware. (Why? ) You may be facing this issue because (I think) they use a different pit. There's a thread devoted to resurrecting the device with pit. Maybe check it out.

yes, make sure that you are using the right pit, put it in "pit" window in odin, and the firmware in "pda", make sure "re-partition" is ticked, start.

[Q] 4.4 Update via Odin Fail, Phone Bricked

I tried to install the 4.4.2 N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2 update on my Note 3 via odin 3.09.
Got an ext4 update failed error.
After this, the phone's bricked and is stuck on the Kies Recovery Screen. I tried to go into recovery mode in Kies, but it says this model does not have initialization.
I tried installing a 4.3 N9005XXUDMK3_N9005TNLDMK1_N9005XXUDMK2, but again failed. Download mode shows SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 3 > Binary 2
Can someone please guide me to unbrick my phone?
I don't know what ROM I was on initially. It was the stock ROM that came with the phone.
I dont have CWM and TWRM installed.

This is not a brick at all. Just add a .pit file and restart the upgrade via Odin again.
You should be fine.

Thank you for that advice. How do I add a .pit file, and would you happen to have a link where I can download it from?

i know cfautoroot has the correct pit file in , try rooting your phone with cfautoroot.

This is not a brick at all. Just add a .pit file and restart the upgrade via Odin again.
You should be fine.

I tried a variety of N9005 .pits and each time, it shows PIT FAIL: TOTAL SECTORS (30777344) :crying:

(Read OP) . Try flashing the polish firmware again with odin v1.85 and try using different usb ports. Close most of your running applications such as firefox skype etc that can interrupt the process and flash official firmware.

You won't be able to downgrade back to 4.3 - Use the PDA slot on ODIN and try flashing again.

I tried to install the 4.4.2 N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2 update on my Note 3 via odin 3.09.
Got an ext4 update failed error.
After this, the phone's bricked and is stuck on the Kies Recovery Screen. I tried to go into recovery mode in Kies, but it says this model does not have initialization.
I tried installing a 4.3 N9005XXUDMK3_N9005TNLDMK1_N9005XXUDMK2, but again failed. Download mode shows SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot] Fused 3 > Binary 2
Can someone please guide me to unbrick my phone?
I don't know what ROM I was on initially. It was the stock ROM that came with the phone.
I dont have CWM and TWRM installed.

15 hour sleep man, seems to have me buzzing around lol :highfive:

Solution
I also have Hong Kong N9005 32GB with N9005XXUBMI5 PDA, tried to flash 4.4.2 with Odin and stuck at "invalid ext4 image", was't able to flash anything after it.
But after 16 hours I finally found a solution:
1. Get leaked Polish ROM (that one with 4 files, do not use the official - it has one file rom)
2. Extract archive
3. Extract "CSC_OXX_N9005OXXENA5_327209_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar" and get your pitfile - HLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
4. Flash your phone with this pitfile and other 4 files from archive (I used Odin 3.09) with repartitioning enabled.
After this procedure I have fully working android 4.4 :victory:

Hi, I had my S4 with stock rom 4.3 with adam kernel and philz touch recovery, tried to install via odin the stock rom 4.4.2 TTT but because of a CPU problem the usb connection was interrupted while installing. Now I'm stuck at download mode.

Odin was interrupted at the bootloader update (sboot.bin). You need the "factory ROM" to flash it, however I am not aware if anything for 4.2.2 would be available for now.

Well it doesn't work, when I turn on the phone a black screen with a cellphone, a warning sign and a monitor appears and a text says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
With this screen I can only go into download mode but when I try recovery mode it just puts the screen black and back to the same text and pictures.
Another thing that worries me it's that I can't turn the phone off with the button, only if I pull the battery out.

This can be recovered I had same prblm some months ago bt I just flashed stock firmware nd it was fixed u may try flashing stock rom again

I've already tried with the rom "I9500UBUEMK1_I9500UUBEMK1_I9500UBUEMK1_HOME.tar.md5" (I believe it's stock rom) and get the odin error that appears in my first post...

Try some other firmware of you own region ......... 4.3 or 4.4 whichever u have for your region .......I think then u will nt get same error

Hi, I'm downloading another firmware now. But I don't think it will work, i've tried with a pack I found (firmware+pit+booloader+cp+csc) and didn't work. Also I tried just flashing only de BP file and keep getting the same error:

I don't know what to do but I'm downloading an ARO stock firmware (4.3) and I'll try...

It should work I did the same thing but cant say anything

Obviously not. simple flash of ROM is not sorting out the corrupted bootloader problem.

considering your situation, I doubt if it will work. you have to pick from two scenarios:
a) your download mode shows warranty void, knox void, custom: then you have to go to step 2 below.
b) your download mode shows all statuses samsung or official or 0x0 - then go to 1
1. Call samsung service center, they shall sort it out under the warranty.
2. More complicated, if you do not want to pay for repairs.
DELETED, procedure was for I9505 ONLY
you have to follow the procedure form this link instead.
Good luck.

You will need the PC with not faulty CPU, first.
Then, you have to use the PIT from here
Of course, you will need the Qualcomm drivers as well, from here or this one
Then, you have to follow the relatively simple procedure described here
That shall fix the corrupted bootloader, and I hope that you will not see the described there errors which would point to the hardware problem.
Good luck.

Warning!
He said he is in trouble with a I9500 device, so the Qualcomm drivers will not help....much.

Just an observation, you said you have no recovery right? So have you tried just flashing the tar of PhilZ recovery using Odin to get it back?
At least then you'll have a recovery again and can move forward with a custom ROM install
