help bootloop gt-S5360

Hi friends, yesterday i had i mistakes flashing my gts5360 with odin ,using one file package firmware found on samfirmware. The flashing process failed, and now my phone continue to bootloop with "samsung" and the animated screen forever. Luckly i can use the recovery mode and odin mode. I tried to flash some stock doky rom with odin,but nothing changes. When i use the function "wipe data/factory reset" this is the message i got on the phone: E: format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl11..
Is there any chance to unbrick this phone? thank you very much in advance

have u tried the firmware which was at the time when you bought the mobile .. ??
and try to clear data and cache through cwm

oh...not again. you don't even have sgy. @thom80: enter recovery mode then wipe /data. it will solve your problem.

yes i used the cmw recovery too,wipe data, cache , etc, but anything change.
Unfortunately my original stock firmware (gts 5369 italian) is not avalible in odin format, only one package file in samfirmware, and this one package doesnt work with odin for the samsung galaxy y. I used all gts 5360 firmwares until now, which are 100% working,i had not any problems until the yesterday's fail

i tried to flash creed rom and aurora rom, but after installing and rebooting the phone freeze on samsung galaxy gts forever

have you try to repartition your phone? you'll need to load sgy's pit file and tick repartition option on odin.

First of all, your phone is just soft bricked.
1.Try wiping data and cache from STOCK RECOVERY... if it fails then your is havin some mounting errors.
2.try to install another firmware via odin.. dont repartition anything
3.Ask for a nandroid backup from someone and restore it.
Even I have tried flashing 1 file firmware and it always fails but it CANT create problems in your previous rom because it doesnt start the process of flashing

but i thought that repartitioning was not recommended..

yes i tried to check repartion and used the pit file found on the odin directory while flashing a stock doky rom, but nothing to do..

where can i find a nandroid backup? i dont know anything about it

ask people for it.. its just a backup of the stock/custom rom which you can restore through cwm

My GT540 is ****ed :(

So, I decided to erase everything (boot, system, userdata, recovery) using fastboot.
I am now selling it to my sister, but nothing I do will make it work
I have tried flashing a recovery - it doesn't boot into it, tried system and boot - it showed me the boot splash screen but didn't proceed.
I tried reflashing a bootloader using the mur4ik tool - didn't help.
I am now stumped
EDIT: OK, fixed now

Did you try to reflash KDZ file ?

I dont know how to sideload using cwm but why not flash stock rom again?

OP wiped everything in prep for flashing a new rom, but wiped internal storage accidentally as well, so no nands, no rom files, nada.
OP do you adb set up on your PC? I have never used this feature, but I should be able to figure it our and help you.

I'm kinda new to this, how would I go about that?
Also, I formatted the system, cache and data, I'm assuming this is why this has happened, I was doing that because I was installing Cyanogenmod following this method 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271595) how would I do that withopuot making the same mistake I made here?
Thanks guys!

I think i followed the steps correctly, I flashed CWM and did a backup, then formatted the stuff, then the phone would not reboot to unzip cyanogen.

you don't need to reboot
you need to flash it right after those formating
and the file needs to stay as a zip to be flashable so what did u mean by unziping it
also after you flash it won't hurt to wipe data/factory reset and also wipe cache

[Q] Need help, bootloop!

Hey guys!
Just yesterday i saw a thread, that if i have low internal storage space, i can fix it by make new partitions with my sd card. I did it, swapped, it says now reboot (i dont remember program). I rebooted phone, and it stucked at boot logo. I thought it's just need to reflash rom, but it did not help... Also i have cwm 5.5 and it shows Failed to mount E errors. How can i fix it? Please help guys, thanks

Use mtk droid tools to backup her rom to flash via sp flash tool. After that connect your phone and restore rom via sp flash tool. If u want to flash any update zips make sure u that you unroot rom (if it is rooted).
