I tried to upgrade my Note3 (SM-N9005) to the latest firmware (XSP 5.0) while keeping my root.
I followed one of the guides here on XDA and flashed a .PIT file.
After the flash, I got this error "Device Memory Damaged" and that my data partition has been corrupted (and a factory reset is necessary).
I somewhat freaked out and tried to flash the stock firmware over, only for it show "Encryption failed" error.
EDIT: I tried going into recovery mode. I can't remember the exact error but it said something about not being able to mount something
Is the data on my phone's internal memory as good as gone?
Take a look: HERE.
I saw that when I was googling. My device's already out of warranty. :/
most importantly, is my internalSD data as good as gone?
Try using Odin to flash back to stock. I had that come up a few months ago and after a couple trys it worked and I have had no problem since.
I tried doing that but no luck still the same error message

Hey guys! Thanks for reading.
I was trying to flash stock FW to my phone (SM-G530MU, G530MUUHU1AOA2), but i couldnt do it. I downloaded almost all FW available in SAMMOBILE, but all gave me the auth error in odin.
I thought it was because of the recovery, so i flashed the Phil one. Still no luck.
Then I formatted and wiped through recovery, thinking that would be a good way to have everything to stock.
After that, the phone wont get past the Glaxy Grand Prime logo with androidn at the bottom.
I still cante get ODIN to flash any FW because of that Auth error. Have no idea how to fix it.
Also i tried KIES, but once i enter all infor, it simply says "Failed to run firmware update. Unknown error occured".
So yeah, please help. Dont know what to do. Thanks!
I fixed it! Close this Mods! Finally i went to Samsung and they provided me the original firmware for my model. Thanks
Hi everyone! I urgently need help.
Hey
My Note 910F froze itself several times thoughout the day, and i had to power it off and on several times. There was (and is) NO famous emmc read fail error, so emmc hopefully must still be fine. After last reboot it no longer showed samsung logo; only standard recovery message (odin status 1) .
i booted into the recovery and see that internal sd card is recognized as unformatted. Does it mean i need to re-partition with PIT to get access to the data? If yes, then which pit will do for 4.4.4?
Or is there any other way to recover the data from this phone?
If i understand correctly, flashing a service ROM will format everything.
i was using 4.4.4 rom and never changed partition sizes.
would really appreciate any help and advice!!!
thank you!!
Hi Guys
This is my first post on xda even after using these forums for years. But today I cant find a solution on here or anywhere for that fact, and was literally hoping that I've missed something somewhere.
So to start. I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime (SM-G570F). The other day I was flashing a custom rom when something went wrong during the flashing process and left me with a bricked device. Now I did do a full backup before flashing as I've learned the hard way how important this is. During the flashing it also asked me for a full wipe and to backup the EFS. Even though I did do all the backups and wiped everything< I've ticked both boxes and proceeded with the installation. Everything seemed fine but on 99.9% it froze. Not wanting to do anything I left it until it rebooted the phone by itself, where I was greeted with the download/flash screen. Didn't even give the warning about installing custom software and asked to continue. It just booted straight to the download screen. Tried getting back into recovery only to be greeted with download screen. No matter what I did it just kept booting into download mode. So I then re-flashed TWRP. Getting into the recovery I was able to mount EFS, System, Data, etc. Bu all showed 0mb of 0mb available. I then went to restore everything only to find that the SD Card was also wiped by the process. Thinking that maybe the recovery isn't reading everything correctly, I found the SD Card empty in windows also. No call me names or whatever, (I know my own stupidity) but I never backed up my backups on my PC. So I just proceeded flashing stock firmware as to start from scratch. Everything went as planned until the device got reset by odin. I was greeted with a screen saying "installing system update", but as soon as it reach 32% it changes to "erasing" and then "error" with the "DRK Missing" error. Then it boots to recovery where an error message is saying "unable to mount: EFS (Device or Recourse busy). I cleared cache and did a factory reset and it booted the system (Though mount error still appears in recovery even in custom TWRP/CWM recoveries also). Now I have a 00000..... IMEI number and no network connection. I've spent the last week on the web trying to find a solution with no luck. I'm tired AF because I didn't sleep trying to solve this. I tried flashing stock and custom roms, recovery's, boot-loaders, modems. Tried different software's like Samsung Tool, IMEI repair tool, Strings of adb commands, xposed modules, apps, terminals, etc. I even flashed factory binaries with no luck as to how to change it back.
So in short.
My EFS got wiped.
I lost my IMEI.
I don't have any backups.
Been awake for a week searching for solutions with no luck.
So please if anyone knows of a way to change the IMEI, please help me. I know It's illegal to change IMEI (though not in my country). But I down't want to change it for all the wrong reasons. I just want to change it back to the original found on the back of the phone and on the box. This can't do any harm can it? Please I just want my phone back please!

If this problem is still open, then on Your Phone box is writen imei, or take battery out and under serial number there will be your imei, root your device and use IMEI changer grant root access and type your imei in it, after that reboot and your imei should pop up! I had same issue and this steps made my day! THIS WORKS ONLY ON YOUR IMEI, YOU CAN'T CRACK, STEAL IMEI By this method, don't believe those Dumb ****'s from YouTube!
May I help You!

My note 4, randomly crashed, running completely stock.
Began bootlooping and hasn't stopped.
Have downloaded firmwares from Samsung-Firmware . org, as SamMobile will literally not allow me to download anything for free??
No firmware has worked on the device, Have tried numerous PDA versions as I am unsure which the phone originally is.
The first firmware gave the error "dm-verity verification failed" in the recovery menu.
Have wiped cache and data.
Note: This is actually the second N910F which had corrupted itself and stopped working.
Help! :angel:
Do you want to recover some data from it?
If Not than you can try factory reset from Recovery menu.
Other than that it might be memory corrupted or your battery.
Try to change the battery.

New battery: Allowed the phone to boot past the first "Samsung Note 4" screen to : "Samsung" logo, but the phone made a loud beep/screech.
If you want to reflash the Stock ROM search for a version on https://updato.com
I just reflashed mine (g910f) even twice as I had an Infini-Boot, too. After cleaning Dalvik/Cache and formatting data, taking out the battery, after some time it suddenly displayed that it's going to setup apps and it works since then ...
So maybe just be patient.

to get the latest stock rom for your device, free and fast
look what you have to do:
download this (windows ) application and install it on your windows pc.
This is the aplication that will allow you to search and download the latest stock rom for your phone.
It connect to Samsung servers and in very little time you will have a new stock rom on your pc.
choose samfirm 3.06
extract it on a folder on your PC and run samfirm.exe
in the opening menu type
SM-N910F(or T/V/W etc your phones model)
REGION..... xxx (your region code)
these 2 you can find in a sticker under your battery if you open the phone and take off the battery
tick '' BINARY NATURE''
(If you dont tick BINARY...'' you will get the whole stock rom in one file xxxx.tar.md5 to flash it in the oding using the AP tab)
CHECK UPDATES>DOWNLOAD
THIS WAY YOU WILL GET THE LATEST STOCK ROM FOR YOUR PHONE/REGION
Binary nature means the rom split in 4 files
1. BL- bootloader
2.AP - rom
3. CP - modem
4. CSC - Customer support code(region/country)
This is what a stock rom is consist of
this kind of rom is also called REPAIR ROM, because you can use it to repair your phone.
If you look in odin you will find exactly these 4 entries.
So you can put each in the appropriate box and flash them all and so have a stock rom.
push start
Wait until rom flashes and phone reboots.
Hopefully it will solve your problem and everything will go as we all wish to.
BUT, from what you are describing, i am afraid for 2 things:
1. Your battery is almost dead, thats the good scenario .
With 20 $ you will solve it.
So new battery, new rom> problem solved, or
2. You are starting to have the emmc failure on your phone.
Thats a tough one.
Lets hope its not the case.
Just in case

Hey guys, I done goofed. Big time. And I'm aware of that.
I was an a 9.0 rom (can't remember which one unfortunately) and my stupid ass tried to flash a 8.0 official firmware via odin to get back to stock.
Yes, exactly.
Obviously odin didn't even try to flash anything but got immediately stuck with error messages. One was "can't open the specified file (line 1892) and other times it just got stuck at "setupconnection".
I tried 2 different roms (one from samfirmware and another one from that one little download tool you can use), tried extracting the PIT file and flash everything with that, but it never flashed anything completely.
Also tried 2 different PC's and different cables, since that's always the first answer people get. And I was using ODIN 3.12 as well as 3.13.
Even though odin didn't do anything my phone wouldn't boot anymore.
Interestingly enough I can still boot into TWRP just fine.
The only issue is that TWRP can't access internal memory anymore. For instance, when I try to factory reset an wipe, I get a ton of error messages about how none of the paths could be mounted (failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument). Size is shown as 0mb.
I tried flashing a 9.0 rom from here, and aroma didn't show any error mesasges whatsoever. But upon reboot it got stuck and after 2 hours I just unplugged the cable and let it die.
When plugging it into my PC while running TWRP, the external SD card pops up as a USB drive, but the phone doesn't show up as phone.
When I tried doing that last week it didn't show any drives, no internal and no external.
Sooo... completely bricked even though I can access TWRP?
Help would be much appreciated because I'm at a loss here.
TIA
I had a similar issue. However, after a comprehensive check done by an authorized dealer, they found a hardware issue.

You think it's plausible that software caused a hardware failure?

Go into Twrp and Wipe > Format Data and type Yes. This should remove encryption from your internal storage and you should be able to flash any custom rom.
For any reason if this doesn't work, you'll need a stock firmware with latest bootloader and modem version than which is currently on your device otherwise odin will just show error. The best way is to download latest firmware (october patch) for your model regardless of country and flash that via odin. Tick nand erase in odin.
Going back to android 8 from android 9 is not stupid .
I have even gone back to android 8 from android 10 since android 10 destroyed my partitions.
If your PC doesn't show Internal Storage. Go to Mount and tick system and try again.
Which firmware for S7 edge already has October patches?
Thanks.
