[Q] Bootloop even after changing ROM - problems with mounting /data

Hi guys,
I've got a problem. On Tuesday I was updating my apps on Google Play - I've updated some apps and started just to use them. One of them was popular messenger in Poland. Something's went wrong and my smarthphone freezed. I pulled out the battery after few minutes to prepare a 'soft reset', but it stucked on bootloop. I've tried to make a wipe /data, but it couldn't even mount /data, so I decided to change the ROM from networks' one to newest stock one (one file rom). Everything's went good, but it still stucks on bootloop on another boot animation. I've tried also repartitioning it using the stock rom with "totoro_0623.pit" - still the same. Wiping data after flashing didn't give any change.
When the phone was restarting after the last flash, they was written that /data can't be mounted (invalid arguments).
I don't know what should I do right now. Do you have any propositions for me?
Thanks in advance!
you can try with my firmeware
download
http://d-h.st/FhE
unzip the file
put phone into download mode
connect to pc
start odin
put the files in the following places in odin
pda in pda
modem in phone
csc in csc
begin flashing
do not remove the cable untill the phone has fully booted
it will enter stock recovery and flash csc and restart itself so leave cable connected
this firmware is a wipe pack so it should wipe all your partitions
if it fails you can try with the pit file but do not tick the repartition box in odin or you will be in trouble as you need to also include bootloader files for that

Thanks for reply.
Is it recognized as a stock rom? And the second question: what should I do when I have tick on 'repartition'? What changes will be done then? I thought it's just repartitioning and the bootloader is still the same, without any changes.

if you tick repartition it will wipe your boot partition and your phone wont be able to boot which is why you have to put bootloader files in
you dont need to repartition - in all the times iv flashed stock roms iv never had to do it
That link is for stock room firmware XXMI1 on baseband XXMC2 - its european firmware but will work on any gt-s5360 to get it working
You can always change to another baseband if you find you have no network by flashing a stock rom from your region
Sorry but I didn't have enough time to prepare it in this week. As I saw, I probably need also the bootloader files. Can somebody point me which one will be good? And another question: after changing bootloader the counter on downloading mode will be incremented?

[Q] [HELP] i9505 Recovery Booting Stuck

Hello guys,
I need your help again!
I recently changed my i9100g with this other device, GT-I9505 Italian version, no brand.
The history of this device was quite this: stock FW until 4.3 (just my suppose) --> CM11 --> try to flash 4.2.2 stock --> brick @[email protected]
Now I tried to put the original 4.4.2 firmware by flashing with Odin v3.09, because I don't want custom rom for the moment, just make it work.
The problem is that the phone stucks at Samsung logo, and when I tried to go in recovery mode, it stays on the same logo but there's a blue write in the top left corner "Recovery Booting".
Do you have any suggestion?
TY in advance

Flash the stock rom again..and do NOT check autoreboot in odin.
The straight away boot into recovery, factory reset it..and you'll boot

-Open odin
-Uncheck autoreboot
-Add your firmware file to the AP/PDA section
-Start the process
When this will end, your ohone wont boot automatically (obviously)
After 2-3 minutes start it, if it turns on properly congo..
If it doesnt..just boot into recovery (volume up+home button+power button) and perform a data wipe.
If this does not helo at all, download the LATEST KITKAT 4.4.2 UNBRANDED again for your phone as it can be a bad download issue too.

I would try another firmware less recent, just to see what happens...
But I have great news: Philz touch works, so now I have a working custom recovery!
the problem is that I can't just flash a custom ROM to repair
I think I need the pit file, but I can't find one on the internet @[email protected]

Y do you need a pit? Pit files are not to be played with and can possibly brick if not flashed with utmost care.
Try a stock firmware first. Dont try any stock firmware till you have a working phone..

The pit file is right there in @samersh72s thread
In the attachments.
Flash properly after reading the OP very carefully and DO NOT SKIP ANY STEP OR MODIFY any
Still IMHO a data wipe after reflashing can fix your bootloop.

Help?

I was thinking about a possible cause: could it be that I'm using a wrong firmware?
this device is used, so I supposed that it was ITV the correct firmware, but not 100% sure...
I'm just sure that it is no-brand.

On top of all advice given here...
Can you boot at all? what is the status at the moment , rom recovery?
I would try to flash a recovery first ( twrp , philz) see if it works , do a factory reset ( backup first) and try flashing a stock rom,,see if it helps

The situation is still the same, so in order:
I cannot boot a complete system, I just stuck on samsung i9505 logo with blue "Recovery Booting" written in top-left on the screen;
At the moment I'm reflashing ossessively the stock rom, and philz touch; I can go in DL mode and not in the stock recovery, but when I flash philz touch I can enter by double clicking vol up when I see the blue, red and yellow writes.
I cannot do a factory reset, that is the real problem I suppose, 'cause when I enter in philz recovery, it says: "error mount /data etc etc..." as you can see in previous posts.
In DL mode this is the situation:
PN: GT-I9505
Current binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x1
csb-config-lsb: 0x30
write prot: enabled

Followed that guide many times, but the result is stuck in Samsung Logo.
Even tried flashing PIT file, but nothing changed.
maybe flash just a stock recovery after the firmware could solve the problem?

Thanks for replay audit13
but i want to ask, dose it erase the phone or not?
It will erase everything but should leave the data partition untouched. If the phone will not fully boot to the rom, you may have to perform a factory wipe in recovery.

Any help please
You can root it with Kingo Root App.
Search on the Internet about this app
Reads as a failed flash to me .
Recovery wiped .
I would flash a recovery via Odin .
TWRP CWM or Philz Recovery .

Download your device specific TWRP 2.8.xx not TWRP version 3, Flash it with Odin in download mode...
I had similar issue in the past.
Download a device specific custom rom, dirty flash, connect to your computer, back up data and after that if there are force closes etc.,
Do a proper flash.
Hope this helps.
FYI., Kernel seandroid not reinforcing and Recovery seandroid not reinforcing warning appears when you run custom kernel & recovery.
Nothing to panic about. Just ignore it.
Exactly which model # do you have? Did you try flashing stock recovery?
You could try this: you could flash TWRP with Odin, boot into TWRP, mount the data partition, and pull the files from the partition.
Thanks every one
I solved the problem by reinstall cf-auto-root....
The file I downloaded was incomplete (29.7mb) but the new one is (30.6mb) it worked
thank you all.

I get it. You have issues with recovery i guess.
Where did you buy the phone? And also where did you download the firmware? and reply the name of the firmware you downloaded (ex:N9005XXUENC2_N9005OJVENB2_KSA)
Hope we can find a solution
EDIT: Didn't see that it was fixed... xD lol

Oh dear ! Thats not a good sign.your motherboard is acting crazy.try flash twrp again in odin and try to flash rom without wipe cache or dalvik cache (just wipe system) and flash rom.
If same error ( invalid argument) shows again then in twrp advance wipe there is repair tab at bottom in twrp try to repair cache partition and try again.

I have a similar problem. I have a note 3 with original UK ROM and wanted to flash my operator ROM to get wifi calling. Both are android 5.0
The problem is after trying to flash the first time I had a problem that the new ROM would not fully flash. reading posts I understood I had to flash PIT file which I downloaded and flashed. After flashing PIT the new ROM did not go in so I flashed my original UK.
After reboot I kept getting security warnings that something has changed and I should reboot. After several boots the problem did not go away.
So I tried to flash ROM again, different tries between UK ROM and my operator ROM, but the phone now only loops at booting. Sometimes it gets stuck at first Samsung screen.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you
What original rom.
What rom you updated to ?
Probable you flashed the wrong size PIT .

Hi,
So the following:
Original ROM: N9005XXUGBOK6_N9005BTUGBOJ1_BTU
My operator (EE): N9005XXUGBPB1_N9005EVRGBPB1_EVR
Now I tried: 4.4.2.N9005XXUGNG1_N9005OXAGNG1_BTU
I tried the following PITS:
SM-N9005 FTM pit
SM-G900F EVR pit
Any suggestions, would be very grateful.
Thanks
SM-G900F EVR pit
Thats not for N9005 .
Have you tried Samsungs KIES ??
So which Pit to rectify?
Yes I also tried Kies 3 but cannot connect. I have tried under recovery mode and download mode. Odin connects fine though. Not sure why.

If you have N9005 32GB only
Try to change usb cords. I used to have the same problem

So I flashed the pit successfully, but the EVR ROM failed again.
Any suggestions on why?

I just flashed my original UK ROM successfully, however after a boot where the message appeared "Recovery booting" then the green Android followed by another reset. It is however stuck on the Samsung screen.

From closed thread .
You changed to the wrong model firmware and that's a guess as you give no indication .
Another guess is that you ticked the wrong boxes in Odin .

Auto Reboot and
"F.Reset Time
Any other suggestions?

Take it to a repair centre .
Personally i would try flashing TWRP via Odin recovery and see if i could get to recovery mode.

Factory reset .

I installed TWRP 3.1.1 as per link above and tried to backup my DATA partition but it is 0MB
I'm afraid Factory reset also failed. I get a bunch of error messages such as:
Failed to mount /data
Formatting cache
Unable to mount storage
Any ideas?
The good news is I still have access to recovery and download.
