Wipe-/Data and Factory reset doen´t work - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hi,
My s7 got a little bit strange so there very heavy lags.
After this I decided to try a cache wipe.
Aftrerwards I thought i going on the over to the factory reset and this will fix everything.
BUT still it didn´t worked and the reset failed
The output looks like this:
E:format_volume: make ext4 failed on /devblpck/platform/155a0000ufs/by-name/US
Data wipe failed!
Afterwards I reinstalled the OS several times with ODIN.
Still stuck in a Bootloop and a factory reset brings up the same error.
Even a nand erase aswell as a repartition with the correct pit file leeds to the same error.
At the moment I guess the phone is dead and there is no more help.
Or am I wrong and there is a way to bring this back to live?

How did you wipe the phone? You can wipe with twrp and also with adb.

I wiped it with the standard recovery delivered from the Phone.
I tried to flash it a couple of times with odin but still ran in to this error..

Try wipe it with adb. Can you boot into stock recovery? If you cant wipe, make sure you are flashing the correct csc for your phone. So it has to be explicitly for your region and network operator.

Big problem bootlop clean reinstall: '(note 4 (N910F)

Hi XDA sorry to bother you but I really really really need your help because I am desperate ...
I am French but I speak a little English and I am your community for a long time!
Here I have a note 4 (N910F) and I was officially NK4. I wanted to install a custom rom but I had beug on official NK4, so I decide to make a clean reinstall before putting a custom rom!
The problem is that in order to do I put my note 4 in download mode and I opened odin then I checked auto reboot, re partition, f reset time and nand erase all. I put the PIT, BL, AP, CP and the SCC in the right boxes then I clicked on START and then restarts the mobile was stuck on the samsung logo and waited 15min .. Always blocked after 15 minutes so I extinguishes.
I tried other manipulation: I try to flash the rom 4 files with the pit but check the nand erase all but still stuck on the Samsung logo.
I try to flash the rom 4 file without the pit but still stuck on the Samsung logo.
I installed philz and restore a backup but always the same.
And I try to do a factory reset before installing the official NK4 and always the same.
I also found that when I do a factory reset I have two errors:
the first E: Error mouting / data!
the second E: Error mouting / sdcard / .android_secure!
Voila so I really need your help because no one can solve my problem: '(
Thank you in advance ..
Download new rom from sammobile, use odin and restart everything from scratch! Dont un-check or change Anything in odin, just start when you have chosen right file..!
Try To change file system of data And sdcard, like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56956070

First I wanted to thank you for your help!
I finally managed to solve my problem!
I spent more than 7 hours on this problem to finally succeed!
I did a nand erase all with odin then directly flash the cfroot without turning it on after nand erase all. Then I was in the recovery then wipe and factory reset wipe Cache and then I restart my phone and it worked!
For without the flash cfroot it did not work!
it was really long to find this a bit weird solution!
Thank you for your help!
For future reference:
Wipe /data from stock recovery after flashing a PIT and ROM.
Flashing a PIT wipes all partitions on the phone, and Odin only flashes /system, leaving /data unformatted. Wiping /data from stock recovery fixes that.

I9506 shows encryption failed, cannot flash rom

Can anyone help unbrick my i9506? It will boot to the Samsung logo but then comes up with the message: “Encryption failed. Unable to complete encryption because of interruption. Perform factory data reset …” etc. I have never encrypted the phone and this came out of the blue, though I did delete cache and dalvik cache under TWRP the day before. The phone will boot into TWRP recovery where I tried doing a factory reset and data wipe but nothing works and all I get is “Unable to mount /data, Unable to mount /cache, Unable to mount storage” in TWRP.
I tried flashing a stock rom with Odin (3.07, 3.09, 3.10, 1.85, different USB ports, official samsung cable, different computers) but that also failed, and fastboot doesn’t work either. Looks like a corrupt partition? Is there any work around to this problem, or failing that, can I flash a stock recovery so I can take this in for repair under warranty?
Did the Odin flash work? If it flashed succesfully, then flash the firmware with a .pit file and check re-partition. That should fix it.
Tired flashing numerous times with Odin but all failed. Tried with .pit file but also failed.
OK, I’m just an old noob, but after three days of searching, downloading and flashing, I am ready to give up. I found a number of references to ‘Encryption failed’ but few answers. The constant mmc_write fail in Downloading when flashing suggests, according to some, a hardware failure with the mmc chip, and Knox also gets a mention as a cause. So it looks like a hardware and Samsung issue, and the only easy fixes reported come from those who get a replacement motherboard under warranty.
But I can still boot into twrp recovery, which suggests a soft brick, and some users experiencing similar issues have revived their phones. My numerous attempts to flash stock rom, stock recovery, CWD etc with Odin failed. In trwp, data and cache will not mount, nor will data mount through adb shell. Looks like a partition issue, though all partitions appear to exist under dev/block/ and flashing the i9506 pit file in Odin does nothing. Tried to wipe data, cache, system etc and do a manual reformat of /data (userdata partition 26 in i9506) through adb but all failed. Tried superwipe (doesn’t work), and while fastboot erase then rom flashing works for some to overcome the dreaded ‘Unable to mount /data failed’, Samsung phones don’t support fastboot. Some users report success through CWD recovery, the main problem solver, and flashing older ICS roms (I’m on 5.01 but also d tried 4.4.2 and 4.3 without success). Twrp crops up as a real suspect for many users – me too - but my attempts to get rid of it and flash either stock recovery or CWD/Philz failed.
So, I’ll try to get a hardware replacement for my phone, but given I’ve tripped Knox when rooting, I don’t fancy my chances. My conclusions, apart from don’t mess with your phone, are avoid Samsung and Knox, and twrp sucks but, hey … who knows?
Follow up. Got it fixed under warranty. They replaced the PCB (motherboard). Looks like I wasted all those hours trying to get it up and running, and it was hardware after all.

Note 3 Stuck on Samsung Logo

My Note 3 crashed earlier on and wouldn't reboot for anything.
I managed to get into the Recovery Menu and wiped the Cache Partition, but no dice.
I have since reset to factory and re-wiped the Cache Partition, but still no dice.
Now all I get is the music when the logo appears and then the Samsung Logo with the sparkles behind it constantly. Nothing else works, and it doesn't move on after half an hour.
I can't force a reset through Kies, and I don't have any idea what to do now.
The device was originally rooted, I can't remember how. Its been an age since it was done.
Any help or advice much appreciated.
Usual answer .
Flash stock rom via Odin .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/finally-official-5-0-firmware-galaxy-t3029557
Thanks. Was a bigger job than I imagined.
The update via ODIN kept failing, and it turned out I needed a PIT file.
Managed to flash the firmware (which failed), then unplugged and replugged the phone in and then flashed the PIT file.
I then needed to wipe the Cache Partition and reboot (as the Cache wouldn't mount).
Then I needed to re-wipe all files/factory reset, followed by another Cache Wipe.
Now phone is back up and running and I have the great task of recovering everything. Good job we have cloud backups.
Thanks very much for your advice.

TWRP problem on S7 edge SM-G935F.

So I flashed the latest version of TWRP on my s7 edge SM-G935F
And I got the error "failed to mount data" I formatted my phone and I didn't see the error again, I rebooted my phone and everything was working fine then when I wanted to root my phone with Magisk, i went back to TWRP recovery and I got the error again, so I formatted my phone again and rooted it, then I rebooted my phone and I said that the data is corrupted that I should reset my phone to factory reset, I went back to TWRP recovery and still get the same error.
It's like the TWRP recovery is not stable and it also reset immediately you leave so that when you come back you must format your data or factory reset it before you can use the recovery.
Can Anyone help fix this problem, I don't want to wipe/factory reset my phone every time I go to recovery. What if I make a mistake and go to recovery? That means I must wipe/factory reset my phone before using.
Please help!

If it's telling you "failed to mount /data", go to wipe > format data and type yes. Factory reset, do your things and then reboot back and install what you want, you shouldn't get the error anymore.
But later if I want to flash another thing like a mod, I have to wipe data again

Nono. Wipe data once, factory reset in twrp, and you don't need to wipe data again after that. Only wipe it once after you format data.

Data partition corrupted

I have a SM-G935FD which I rooted using Wondershare Tunes Go. It rooted successfully and I installed TWRP via Odin. But afterwards i noticed than when ever I tried to wipe the cache it failed giving a write error.
I decided to reinstall the original firmware and downloaded it from Sammobile and flashed via Odin. Now i can't boot the phone as it gives an error saying data partition is corrupted and I need to reset the phone to factory settings and there is a reset button at the bottom of the screen. when i press that it reboots, goes to TWRP but gives a write error and again comes to the same Data partition error screen.
I can reboot to download mode.
I am a noob so please help me restore the phone if possible.
