Try flashing right modem through recovery, or use Odin to flash stock rom or you can try kies to recover it.
Thanks for your reply.
Currently got stock rom on phone but it won't boot, it's stuck at Samsung logo.
Device is rooted and got twrp.
Kies is stuck trying to figure out the device that is connected. And when i try recovery of firmware or something of the like(Kies is installed in french) says this model cannot be reinitialized.
Also like i said i have no backup, so no recovery key for kies either.
But the internal sdcard is recognized by Windows.
Don't know what else to do. I had no problem flashing modem.img flashed OK and such.
Is it normal when in recovery mode when i run a graphics test it says error?
Is it just a bug from the recovery mode?
Hoorray! Found Something that worked for me i'd like to share with you. Thanks to this post : https://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus/development/updating-t3210266
Many thanks!!

Hi
Unfortunately I haven't done backup before I bricked my phone. I've tried Odin to upload new roms, and Bootloaders, but nothing help at all. The phone stuck on logo.
I don't have efs, but I have access to recovery and to download mode. What shuld I do to recover my phone? Is any method to manualy put my IMEI by Odin or recovery?
In recovery <3e> I have E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
download the rom from here
download odin to pc and follow instructions to get back to stock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8Tga_yKywc (skip till minute 9:00)

I also flashed rom from sammobile by Odin, and still stuck on logo. I m afraid only service can help me.
Thanks anyway

go to recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache and reboot..
I did wipe, factory reset and still stuck on logo. On recovery I have still on red E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
Anyone know maybe it is possibly to create efs folder with my IMEI from phone(under battery) and implement it by e.g. Samsung GS3 Int ToolKit???
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 ?

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!!!

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.
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
