T580 wifi version errors in recovery mode - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

I've been flashing phones/tablets as long as I can remember. I'm getting partition errors when I do anything with the tablet in recovery mode. I have the latest version of TWRP installed from a few days ago. The errors show partion problems as I see the following as soon as I start any wiping process or installation. The error below is an example of one of the errors. Any ideas? I have 2 of these tablets and I see 2 sdcard folders (sdcard, sdcard2).
error opening : '/external_sd/app/~~/yb_DpAd676L1_CbU4IeU6_g==/com.fingersoft.hrc2-GeAAkrpCUY8bu00W5KPyeA==/base.digest' (no such file or directory).

Very strange, after reformatting the sd card and insert it. It appears to have cleared up the issue.

MAJOR CRASH - Unable to restore via ODIN

This morning my phone crashed while I was trying to run gReader. Upon reboot, the phone would just hang at a black screen after the initial SGS Logo.
I decided to recover and put the device into download mode, launched ODIN and tried to flash JP3, JM5 and JG8, all to no avail. At the reboot after ODIN is complete I get the Samsung recovery utilities and then an error message as follows:
Update media please wait ...
E:Can't Mount /dev/blk/mmcblk0p1 (invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount SDCARD:
copy default media content failed
Trying to format the internal SDCARD from Recovery Utils gives the same error
I am stuck! Any ideas?
that's beyond me.
you got into download mode, that's good
but when flashing you get that error, that's not good
did you use the 1 click lag fix?
never mind i see your siggy you were on Modaco rom... hmm...
try Odin-ing a stock ROM, and see if that fixes your phone?
then Odin back whatever is your custom ROM
You are further through the flash process than I was when I ran into problems, plus have a Vibrant over a European Galaxy S - but I'd still try a 'blank' flash with Odin. Enter download mode, connect up and let Odin run without any files linked in. This got me back into the phone and then allowed for a proper new fw flash thereafter.
No matter what I did I could not get the internal SDCARD recognized. A trip to the Bell store and a DOA swap and now I have a new device.
Any update on how to fix this?

[HELP!] Failed CM flash & now wont mount /system

EDIT: SOLVED. Sorry, please ignore
I am using TWRP, I factory reset fine.
I then lined up 3 zip files to flash. CM10.1, Gapps and Cerberus
The screen turned off while flashing and I panicked. It wouldnt turn on again. I'm thinking it was because of the screen off delay.
I panicked and pushed all of the buttons several times but couldn't get the screen to turn on again.
Now I've turned off the screen off delay and now I'm trying to re install CM but it keeps getting the following
E: Unable to mount ' /system '
I can still access TWRP recovery and Download.
Is there any way to restore the partitions?
--------------------------------------------------------
Edit from here on:
I was able to recover the partitions by downloading this following PIT file:
http://d-h.st/v7C
I used it with ODIN, I put my phone in download mode and put pushed the PIT file onto my phone, which fixed the partitions. From there I was able to just install CM10.1 like normal

[Q] Need to unbrick Defy+ - Strange problems

Edit: All happy now, a change of pc solved the problem of not detecting the device!
Hi all! I have another challenge for you!
Right, I've got myself in a tizz with my Defy +. While updating between CM10.1 versions I found myself in a situation where I couldn't get past the boot animation. So I loaded the TWRP restore I had made prior to updating...
Except it wouldn't, instead it came up with 'Failed' each time I tried any of the TWRP backups I had created. So the next step was to wipe partitions and start flashing various ROMs until I found one what worked. Except they didn't work either. Eventually I thought the best idea would be to just turn the phone off and see where I was with booting.
So power on, boot logo, blue light, red light then... nothing. Just the boot logo static. Went into the custom bootloader to go into recovery again, nothing. Pressing Custom recovery simply loops back to the top bootloader screen.
Ok next step, flash .sbf and start from scratch. So into the Moto bootloader it is to plug in and flash except... it's no longer detected by my computer.
"Ok" I think, "We'll just flash files from the SD card after I use an external SD card reader.
Except now when I enter Moto recovery to flash the TWRP recovery I get:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verifiaion failed
Installation aborted
So to recap:
1) Tried to flash and update, failed
2) Tried to recover, recoveries wouldn't write (I think this is becaue I'd changed to EXT4 on /data and /cache and had forgotten to go back to EXT3 before trying to recover)
3) Tried to boot, epicly failed
4) Tried to flash .sbf, Defy+ won't appear in RSDLite 5.7 with latest driver
5) Tried to flash from SD card, sig verification failed
6) Googletastic for the last four days
Notes:
a) I CAN charge the Defy+ using the wall charger but I get '?' for the battery level indicator but...
b) In Cmod bootloader 2.1 (Which I can use a little) it shows the correct battery level
c) I /was/ getting some errors with not being able to mount /cache from the moto recovery but I've since used the cmod bootmenu 2.1 to set it back to ext3 and it's all happy now, those errors aren't appearing
d) Plugging in my Defy red lens I get W8 x64 detecting the correct portal drivers and such but when I go to moto bootloader this device also doesn't appear in RSDLite
e) Both devices prompt windows to install a Motorola Flash Interface driver in Device Manager when plugged in in moto bootloader mode and neither device appears in RSDLite despite the fact the program is running in Admin mode
f) Looking at the logs in bootloader, it appears that I might not have formatted anything from ext4 to 3, everything I select in the cmod bootmenu returns .E:Error in /system/... , (Result: Invalid arguement) , Done..
So at the moment I think I need to acheive one of the following:
1) Find a file that allows me to write any useful data to /system like a recovery or some of those bootmenu files that passes the signature verification
2) Find a way to troubleshoot RSDLite so I can actually flash .sbf and get out of this hellhole
Many regards!
Alexis
If your custom recovery is not working, then you cannot do anything other than flash an sbf(nothing except data and cache wipe can be done via stock recovery): this is due to the locked boot loader(recoveries cannot be simply flashed from the stock recovery as you're trying to do)

Success (ish)!
Yes I swapped to a different machine and then upgraded the version of RSD Lite installed on it from 4.7 to 6.1.5

And flashed the 'lower' of the two .sbf's from the links on this forum for the British variant. After a DEA1 error (Phone is dead, code corrupt and all the bad things) I managed to flash the file.
As of yet I've not managed to get out of the bootloop but I've not carried out the requisite steps as mentioned in the "So you think you've bricked your Defy/Defy+" thread.
Lessons learned:
1) Motorola drivers and RSD Lite are pennickety, you will probably need to mix them up in order to get them to behave properly
2) If all else fails, use a different computer
3) You will probably need to flash over and over, while making every effort to not muck them up. Be aware the efuse system only has limited uses before it's useless though...
My saga continues, from no USB support hopefully to a fully working device again
In the end switching PC then doing the factory reset from moto recovery let the phone boot, all standard but the dodgy USB stuff at the first post is what sent me away from the right track.
