HardBricked my s3 neo gt-i9300i and odin is not working - Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i bricked my phone but when i tried flashing its stock rom, odin shows repartition error...
n in download mode, it says; device have loaded pit n invalid pit

Me by you turned system & internal storage to F2FS & that is the problem with Odin.
You must give much more accurate description of what happened, with what rom & what is actually working (recovery, ADB) in order that someone can help you.

Soft Brick - FAILED TO MOUNT SYSTEM - Help

Good night guys, so there's my problem:
I was on DN 0.6.1 custom ROM, TWRP 3.0.2.0 and rooted. Today, i wanted to go back to stock ROM, so, I downloaded the stock firmware throught sammobile, and tried to install it throught ODIN 3.11, but it's stopped at system.img, and remained stuck in it for a long time. so i decided to restart the phone..
Then it's showed the follow message:
firmware upgrade encountered an issue note 4. Please select recovery mode on kies and try again.
So, i tried to re-flash throught ODIN, but stucked at system.img again, after it, I downloaded KIES and tried restore it, but it's stopped at 2%.
I wasn't abble to go to recovery mode, only download mode, so, i extracted the ROM file, and flashed only the boot.img through ODIN. Now it's boot to recovery...
I wiped data/cache, but the following error showed up:
E: Failed to mount system (invalid argument).
and now i can't find a solution for it.. tried to do amost anything that i could find on the internet, but none solved my problem...
I'm wanting to flash PIT + CSC + PDA file, using the repartition option on ODIN, but i'm afraid that may brick my phone for ever...
I'm following this tutorial by now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...te-4-pit-files-repartiton-f-g-c-t-w8-t3282641
And i need this CSC file, because my phone is the C version, could someone give me link to download it ? couldn't find in any place.
ANd there's someone who could help me ? i'm very concerned about it because i don't have money to buy another phone at the moment...
Thanks, and yes, already looked at XDA for a answer but couldn't fine any.
THANK YOU :good:
Anyone ?

Need HelP - ODIN gets stucked while flashing

Hello guys,
I need extremely technical help as no longer know what to do.
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge device, which installed the rom BobCat and everything went well until then.
Later I decided to install another rom to test KingRom that left me unsatisfied, because I thought it had some bugs. Had the TWRP 3.0.0 recovery and decided to upgrade to 3.0.2, everything went well.
At one point I do not remember when or how if was when install back, downgrade to TWRP3.0.0, I do not remember if it was via Odin or TWRP, it happens that the installation stopped halfway. Then unplug the device, restarted in recovery mode and got the following message "E: falied to mount EFS (Invalid Argumen)", I could not restart the device (Boot Loop, and stucked at Samsung Logo) except in Recovery Mode, which also made to stay without IMEI number and Serial Number.
I googled until I came to this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-e...ssues-t3379516
I followed all the steps explained, I back up EFS_backup and RADIO_bakcup partitions.
Installed FACTORY BINARY G935, everything went well. After restarted, already had the correct IMEI number but still did not present the S / N.
After all that, i tried to install Stock Firmware via Odin, from here started the problems that could not solve.
In the first attempt Odin stucked in "System" (also used the PIT file with the same CSC ... .i do not know if I was right using PIT?). Restarted the device forcibly, entered the stock Recovery, did a complete wipe and always get this message "E: falied to mount System (Invalid argument), I returned to install Factory Binary, then reboot in Recovery and the same message no longer appeared.
Again I try to install the Stock Firmware and Odin always stucks in System, or NAND writing, or Partition, etc. I've tried various Stock Firmware, with and without PIT files, always without success.
Only Factory Binary that successfully installs. The TWRP via Odin also but when device restarts to enter Recovery Mode always get the message at the top of the display:
"Recovery image signature check Fail"
"Reboot to avoid Warranty bit set."
1. Does the partitions are in good shape? how can I check it?
2- I did good or bad using PIT file?
3- Does the problem is running Windows XP through a Virtual Machine?
4 What else can I do?
In all actions used and am using a Macbook 4.1, OsX Lion 10.7.5, Odin 3.11 Windows XP Professional 32bit through Oracle VM VirtualBox 3.4.38
Device:
Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935F) CSC = SWC SwissCom
1st Original Firmware: (I guess was 1?) G935FXXS1APG5_G935FVFG1APF3_SWC
Need help Please
Thank you so very much!

S7 Edge G935F // Faulty ODIN flash // Stuck in Bootloader [SOLVED]

Hi Guys,
today I wanted to flash the latest Stock ROM for my device via ODIN. I've done this many times before and (thought) I knew what I was doing. It is my third Phone frome the same carrier and none of them were branded/ locked devices before. Unfortunatly I wasn't aware that this particular device was locked.
After downloading the international firmware I tried to install it and ODIN got stuck while writing the system.img. After that my phone did not boot up (of course). After that I downloaded and tried to isntall the firmware of the carrier, but I had the exact same issue. When I turn my device on I get to an error screen which tells me to execute an "emergency recovery" via the Samsung smart switch software. But it too gets stuck on some point and only gets me to an error screen.
FRP hinders me to install a custom recovery and the stock one does not allow any isntallations via ADB or SD card.
My qustion is: Does anyone know how I can install a rom from here?
I know that I had to have made some changes prior to the flashing, but as I said I was not aware and an Idiot for not double checking.
Since it is not bricked yet I suppose there must be an answer but I can't find anything.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
After only installing the stock bootloader, I am autmaticly entering it when I boot my devive. On the bottom of the screen is an error message: "dm-verity verification failed...
E:failed to mount /system (invalid argument)"
Fix
For anyone in the same situation: I fixed it.
In the end all you have to do is flash the firmware with the fitting PIT file. If you firmware consists of multiple files and there is a "HOME"-file, flash it with this one first on the AP slot in ODIN. After that the same again just use the AP file this time.
My phone is up and running again now.

have u solved your problem ? This problem i am facing on the s7edge nougat ? Plz help ?
Hey,
look at the second post I made in this thread. There is described how I got my S7 up and running again. I'm not sure if it is a valid solution since it felt like trial and error to me, but I'm writing this text from my S7 so it might be worth a try!
Good luck!

I described everything I did in the posts before.
As soon as you can enter the system again all you need to do is deactivate the locks I was talking about in my first post and perform a full wipe.
After that you can install any ROM you want via ODIN just like you are used to.
If that doesn't work for you, I don't have any answers either.
But again:
Prep work:
1. Download most recent ODIN
2. Download the correct firmware for your carrier (from www.sammobile.com)
3. Download the correct PIT file for your device
4. Put your device in download mode
Process:
1. Extract your firmware if it is a zip
2. Start up ODIN
3. Connect your device and check if it's detected by ODIN
3. Put the PIT file in ODIN
4. Put the "HOME" file of your firmware in the PDA slot of ODIN
5. Press start
6. When finished unplug your device and restart phone and ODIN
7. Reconnect your phone and check if it's detected by ODIN
8. Put all the other files of your firmware + the PIT in the correct slot in ODIN
9. Press start
After that my device booted up but still was, as you described too, a little buggy. So I deactivated FRP, activated USB debugging in the dev options, installed TWRP, performed a full wipe and installed another firmware of my choosing via ODIN (without a PIT file this time).
I am running 7.0 on my device now and it works flawlessly.

Does the TWRP flash complete? Can you boot up the OS after you flashed TWRP? (And did you download the correct version of TWRP for your device?)
As a last resort, you could try and flash marshmallow on your device and see if it works there.

Have you tried to perform a regular factory reset via the OS on nougat? Sometimes that does the job, too.
But as I said. I can only give you my best guess here - my phone worked after my procedure, so I didn't investigate further.
And don't forget: Google is your friend.

Well FRP has to be turned off (the button in the menu is called "OEM unlock, the button has to be set to on which deactivates FRP). You don't mention using a PIT file - did you use one?

Tried flashing twrp by flashify didnt work.When I try to boot into recovery it says recovery is seandroid enforcing. Tried flashing from odin and then it says 'Get PIT for mapping..There is no PIT partition'
Then I flashed a stock rom which wasnt successful for the same reason and now device is bricked, even kies cant connect...dont know what to do now !!
HELP HELP HELP!!!!!
Use older version of TWRP 3.0.2

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 only download mode

Hello everyone,
I have a N9005 that only goes into download mode. It doesn't go into recovery mode. When I try to put it in recovery mode, just vibrates, the screen is black and continues to restart itself, vibrating.
If I try to turn it on normaly, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 logo comes on, stayes like this for 30, seconds, restarts, vibrates twice and keeps on doing this on and on
If I take it to download mode and try to flash a new rom, Odin tells me that there is no PIT partition. I even added the PIT file, but the same, no luck
When I try to flash a rom, on the download mode screen give me different red messages
UDC START-red color
MMC reading error
I even tryed to do emergency recovery with keys, but no luck as well
Any advice?
Regards!

I will let you know how it works/if it works
You cannot install roms via download mode .
Only official firmware.
If you have flashed official firmware via Odin then try flashing TWRP recovery via Odin .
Are you flashing the correct firmware as a TAR file ??
MMC reading error is probable damaged Nand .

Yes, I am flashing the correct firmware from sammobile.
It is tar.md5
Now the phone shows me ODIN: flash read failure.
What can I do in this situation? If it is as you wrote, damaged Nand?

When I try to flaah the TWRP recovery, "there is no PIT partition"
Find 4 part firmware and flash correct PIT file /
Suggest a search on NAND fail / Nand Write fail on XDA .

Search this forum search google.
Have you tried using different USB cables and USB ports?
Odin will sometimes give the "PIT" error when you don't use an OEM cable.

Hey guys. Did anyone ever find the solution for this? I have the exact same problem like as in literally exactly. And I've tried the 4part repair firmware, with the pit, as wel as the combination firmware as well as the stock firmware and even tried cf auto root, boot images, twrp flashes.. Nothing! Just also keeps giving the pit error.
Reads as NAND fail , if you have followed all the advice .
