Hi! I used this phone back in 2014-2015 and then in 2016 I bought an iPhone 7, so I left the phone in his box. 2 years ago I needed to use that phone because I left some important photos that I didn't backup and a red exclamation mark appeared on the up-left part of the screen when I booted it. Couldn't access recovery but only download mode, the phone is a SM-G350 (I live in Italy and it isn't an ITV but a TIM region), I didn't root it or something it was stock firmware. Last year I decided to flash the TIM firmware but a KIES Update failed appeared (ODIN said OK and it went all good), I could access recovery and an EFS error appeared. This year I tried flashing TWRP 3 to install LineageOS 13 (maybe something could change) and transferring the file and flashing worked but the phone won't boot (stuck on LineageOS boot animation). I tried formatting Data etc but the EFS error was still there. I tried flashing ITV and TIM roms from Odin with no success, only an infinite boot. Yesterday I tried flashing another recovery but even with the Odin "OK" text TWRP was still there, so I started to doubt if the internal memory went corrupted when I left it another 2 months. I found a make2fs and mount method for the EFS, it mounts, I can install the LineageOS 13 zip but the progress bar stays at about 70%. When I delete files or transfer new things into memory or trying formatting from TWRP the internal memory clears temporarily and when I reboot into recovery the files go back like I didn't delete them. I had another SM-G350 but it died totally (it booted with the same exclamation mark thing) and back in 2015 I was using it in my hand and rebooted itself in recovery mode showing a file system unknown error.

Hi All
Please help!!!
Model Name: Samsung Note 3 -N9005
Bought in: Dubai
My phone battery went down and upon charging back i found the phone stuck on 'Samsung logo' screen after booting.
Steps taken already:
1. Using ODIN3 V3.11 ran CF Root .tar file for N9005 International Version
2. Flashed the ROM with the help of recent firmware (UAE Version) downloaded from Sam mobile
After flashing, it rebooted and Android started upgrading, then it started Apps and went back to 'Samsung logo screen' and stuck again. I have all my 2 years of data stored and haven't taken any backup as well. I'm fine with the phone dead but I need you guys help to recover the data.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Not going to recover data unless your PC can see the phone and its files .
If it can then try Recuva .
My PC doesn't recognize the phone. :crying:
Any other steps to bring back the device alive?
Flash stock rom via Odin .
Stuck on boot screen factory reset .
Flashing will lose some data .
If the phone is recognized by the computer in download mode, flash twrp, boot into twrp, mount data partition, see if you can copy files to the computer.
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!
I've recently repaired my Huawei P8 Lite after it's screen was mutilated and such and I decided to try flash a different ROM onto the device, I wiped my entire device and restarted it instead of flashing the ROM I needed to and I got led into a bootloop which presented me with the Huawei logo until the device just died from battery loss.
I was able to get myself into TWRP before the bootloop occured everytime the phone auto-restarted and I tried flashing the ROM which was Resurrection Remix V.6 and in the end near its installation I did notice it printed out two lines saying "Unknown command" and then continued to say it finished the installation succesfully but when I restarted my phone, there was nothing but the bootloop.
I ended up getting frustrated at left my phone on my desk untouched and now I'm presented with a Rescue Mode panel when I try to boot into TWRP to try and flash a stock ROM. The panel presents me with a message asking me to
Please update system again
Func NO : 11 (recovery image)
ERROR NO : 2 (load failed!)
I'm able to hold my power button and volume button up to boot into Huawei eRecovery but it's as useless as this phone currently. Please note I've tried methods involving connecting my phone to my PC and troubleshooting it from here but my PC does not recognize my phone at all, it never did whilst it was running the stock firmware either. Any help is gladly appreciated.
My phone model for anyone wondering : Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L02
Update :
I've managed to flash TWRP onto my device again after enough times battling the rescue mode, I no longer get the function errors however I have discovered a problem that runs deeper than just a few missing .img's. I've re-flashed Resurrection Remix again with gapps and no errors were presented within the installation processes, I rebooted my system and got put straight back into a boot loop. I decided to go back into recovery and to my surprise there's nothing inside my internal directory besides an empty TWRP folder.
I'm assuming that my device is not properly installing/saving the files where they need to be.
Hi,
I initially had G935FXXS3ERHD_G935FXEO3ERG2_XEO installed and flashed Glamour ROM S9+ port some time ago, now i need to return it to stock but no luck...
Using latest odin i flashed:
G935FXXU3ERL3_G935FXEO3ERKF_XEO
and
G935FXXU3ERJE_G935FXEO3ERJF_XEO
(i need to remain on 3 bootloader)
after each flash i receive the NO COMMAND screen, and cannot boot into stock recovery... only way to boot the phone is to install TWRP... I have noticed when i plug the phone is it comes up as GALAXY S9+ so i am guessing it hasn't been wiped correctly (i did formats, factory resets, wipes many many times and no change)
i have no idea what else to try
Hi,
Using latest Odin I am trying to return to my phone to stock but cannot
I have tried 4 different firmware’s already (over 20 times) and each one will PASS the flash process, phone rests, installing system update (stops at around 30%) and during the blue screen the update stops, resets, receive Erasing message for a bit and then NO COMMAND and phone will simply not boot. (with some flashes the stock recovery is not even available, working or present)
... only way to boot the phone is to install TWRP... installing the NO VERITY file seems to help in booting…
I have noticed when i plug the phone is it comes up as another device name (from a previous ROM) so i am guessing it hasn't been wiped correctly (i did formats, factory resets, wipes many many times and no change)
Back in DOWLOAD MODE under system status = CUSTOM (after flashing stock firmware)
My guess is that the new firmware I flash simply wont stick, or is half installed, or could be something to do with encryptions,
Some of the logs I see include:
Failed to open recovery
Reboot recovery cause UNKNOWN
E: Failed setting up dirty target
Fail to mount /system as rw
i have no idea what else to try
Hello everybody
I'm having this random issues with my Galaxy S5 G900F (Klte) with custom and stock roms.
Boot loops some times (System or Recovery)
Freezes at Logo or booting system or booting recovery.
Spontaneous reboots on recovery or system, at start or sometime later.
Some times it reach the PIN screen and sometimes not.
Some times it works for hours and some times it is rebooting all the time.
It happens from some days ago when I did a restore from custom rom backup.
It was taking a long time booting to system (more than 1 hour) so I removed the battery.
When I tried to start again the phone was not working well. (Just rebooting all the time)
I tried to solve it by flashing my previous used Stock Roms with Odin v3.09 with the result = <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
KitKat - G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FOXX1AND3_G900FXXU1ANE2_HOME
Lollipop - G900FXXU1BOJ1_G900FPHE1BOJ1_G900FXXU1BOJ1_HOME.tar
Marshmallow - G900FXXS1CPG9_G900FPHE1CPE3_G900FXXU1CPC9_HOME.tar
I also tried with custom Roms: RR pie, Bliss 12.7, Crdroid...
Sometimes I'm having errors while flashing custom Roms but sometimes everything be correct.
I also tried repairing, wiping and formatting every partition to ext2 and ext4
For some times I'm having problems wiping and formatting some partitions (randomly): unmount partition or no such file or directory...
I also tried with Original recovery and TWRP 2.x, 3.2 and 3.3 with the same results.
And also tried with and without SD and SIM
I don't know what more can i do. Some idea would be nice.
Aditional info:
My battery only have 7 months.
Is there any way to full clean all the phone partitions memory or any else?
Is Odin cleaning the phone during the installation of a new Rom or it is leaving some untouched?
How is posible that after install a Stock Rom with Odin with success end the mobile being unstable?
I'm doing a lot of tests because I don't understand the cause of my phone is unstable, but I'm learning a lot trough internet.
Some of the tests I'm doing are having this unespected results: (I could update this)
Boot loop entering to recovery mode
Cause: Unknow
Solution 1: Some times works better when I maintain pressed Vol+ and home until the TWRP screen si shown. (But not allways)
Solution 2: Some times I need to remove the battery, wait some minutes and try again after before entering in recovery. (Some times I need to repeat the proccess)
Boot loop entering to system
Cause: Partition system can't be repaired and shows "unable to mount partition" error on TWRP (May be the files or the partition is damaged or lost)
Solution: The only way I found is enter in recovery mode and clean system/dalvik/cache then install the Rom again. (Don't need to wipe data if it's the same Rom/Gapps)
Cause: Unknow
Solution: Sometimes the mobile enter to system after some tries
I also want to share some knowledge with the people that are looking for solution of similar problems and they found this post.
Some usefull guides I found: (I could update this)

Something new, What is Combination Firmware?: https://combinationfile.us/what-is-samsung-combination-file-firmware/
Remove the space on URLS between droid and views.com
I don't see any diference between 1 part and 4 part firmware.
I think the Combination Firmware is only a little versión of Android (not much useful to fix nothing)
The same tools inside Combination are also on Development options in every Rom.

I will edit this post to not spaming the forum with the news.

But nothing really special, the phone continues restarting.
Testing 4 parts Firmware + PIT + re-partition + NAND Erase All
Nothing new, same reboot problems booting system.
At this point I have less reboots entering in recovery mode but:
Sometimes i have errors when I install custom Rom (E1001: Failed to update system image. and Error:7)
Stock roms boot loops everytime while booting system. (1 Part Firmware, 4 parts, with or without NAND Erase and PIT)
Custom roms like Bliss 12.7 works some times but without gapps.
I can't install Gapps now because errors / freezes at recovery.
Since the latest Stock Firmware installation I have more problems:
Black screen after Samsung logo.
More dificulties to enter on Recovery
Cannot solved by flashing any Stock Firmware.
Hardware buttons are good, and is not problem of overheats. (Works bad also in a cool state)
Going to SAT next monday.
