[Q] [BRICK] GT-I9500 bricked by Re-Partition

I've been using CM11 nightly on my i9500 and probably due to a lot of **** I'd done to this phone recently it has become quite unstable so I decided to wipe everything and do a clean installation when I remembered there's a way to enlarge internal storage up to 11.8G by flashing PIT, BL, AP, CP, CSC from I9500ZCUCMG1.
And I tried and it failed. So I only flashed PIT. Then I tried to flash BL and I see "SW Rev. Invalid magic string." on my phone. I googled it and it seems to be that Odin doesn't allow flashing an older version of bootloader. So I tried to flash I9500ZCUGNH4 but still fails with messages like "sboot.bin", "NAND write start fail".
Then I tried to flash a regular PIT provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2269941
Then I tried to flash I9500ZCUGNH4 again, and this time it works. However when the device try to boot, it stuck at logo. I tried to go into recovery and it says:
E:failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
can't mount '/data'(Invalid argument)
E:failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
can't mount '/data'(Invalid argument)
Now I ran out of ideas and came here for help. Help plz. Thx in advance. :crying:
Almost forgot, I did a FULL 14.6G backup (probably all partitions) using method from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-phone-backup-unlock-root-t1420351
Is there any way to restore it now?

Have you tried to Odin back to PB1 and start over rooting upgrading, etc?
Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk
every time i try to do the pb1 update it fails... i have no idea why
Put this pit (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765167) in the pit tab in Odin and put the pb1 tar (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911970571) in the ap tab in Odin then try to restore

HELP!!! Stuck in Samsung Logo

Hi, I have a S8+ and I'm having a BIG problem. I tried to put the stock ROM in my S8+, and now it shows the message: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument) in recovery after reboot, after odin says "PASS"... So I select the option "Reboot System Now", and Samsung Logo appear and nothing happens after this. Stuck!
I have OEM Locked and can't enter in the OS... Help!
Once when I had TWRP I backup my EFS. I have this archives, but I don't know how to zip then to Flash in Odin... (look at attach files).
Help!!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I received similar error failed to find /misc partition on recovery...however the ODIN said PASS..
I had to install TWRP and install custom OS couldn't get the ODIN to succeed.

Maybe this will help you to fix E: Can't mount EFS(invalid argument) g935f

Hi! my G935F can't boot after a corrupted EFS file was flashed it just said in the recovery e: unable to mount EFS (Invalid argument) I was tired and I have searched on every site but nothing... until the crazyness came to me!
I managed to fix it flashing twrp on odin, then booting on twrp and using the option reboot, then click on reboot on download directly from twrp it will boot on download but there is no text on the download screen, flash EFS with odin http://efs.firmware.ir/sm-g935f/ and wait(use the odin on the page to flash the EFS File), it will fail try again then it will show all the treaths completed (0 succeded/0 Failed) but that doesn't matter then reflash the stock rom using odin, let it reboot and you'll get the "Device does not have DRK" blue screen let it stay a minute then it will boot straight to recovery saying that it updated some files...
after that go to download again and use odin to flash twrp recovery and then reboot on recovery to make it reboot straight to download again, once there flash CF auto root from here https://desktop.firmware.mobi/ and there you go... let it boot it will say "the device is not seandroid enforcing" then it will automatically reboot and it will surpass the samsung logo... my phone is still on 00000000 IMEI but at least it boots...
Hope it works for you, give it a try but I have to tell you am not responsible for any damage to your device.
Tell me in the comments if it worked
