So long story short, my tab was running stock ICS (rooted, with temp CWM/cwm.zip). I decided to try a new rom (paranoid android) so I backed up everything via CWM and I flashed the new rom. But I forgot to do a factory reset before doing so which resulted in a bootloop. I returned to CWM to try to restore the previous ROM, all seemed to be fine and the tab restarted but was also bootlooped. Now I can't even access the stock recovery to acess CWM, I get an error message:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC code : THL
Successfully applied multi-CSC
E :failed to mount / system (invalid argument) <in red.
Is there anything I can do to return to my stock ROM?!
Do I have the Brick Bug?

Can it get into download mode? If so try flash a stock rom with odin. Im not a sgt user but i am a samsung phone user and usualy when i forget to wipe all i have to do is go back into recovery. Then wipe everything and flash the same rom. NEVER go straight to a backup unless you pass setup. Then it can create a link almost so it supports going back. Or so thats what ive been told by devs on other forums...sounds kinda wierd tho but anyway if you forget to do something while flashing roms then go back indo recovery and do it again

Now I'm stuck at the "<ID:0/005> factoryfs.img" stage!
I'm a bit scared of unplugging the tab, what would be the best thing to do now?
EDIT: If I flash a kernel or CWM, would this solve my problem?
Thanks in advance

From CWM wipe data, cache & dalvik & reboot.
And flash this ICS zip file from CWM. if yours is 6800.

I did everything you said, but the progress bar has been stuck at 75% for over an hour, this has happened with all the ROMs I've tried to install. Is there anything else I could do? I red somewhere that a low battery doesn't allow ROMs to be installed properly.
Although I have no idea of my battery life, I'm just gonna leave it to charge for a bit. I hope everything turns out fine eventually

Battery life has nothing to do with it. People just say make sure you have high battery incase something happens. I think that it might be a very expensive brick now. Unless anyone else knows then i habe no idea

:crying:
I was reading the following articles:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/samsung-diligently-working-towards-hardbrick-fix/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810954
Could this Brick Bug be the source of my problems?
I was running a leaked version of ICS AND I have been using the cwm.zip so there is the possibility
Being unable to flash through either Odin or CWM surely sounds a lot like the brickbug.
If I were you, I'd reboot to download mode, and install a full ROM with repartition + PIT file. If it works, install locerra's CWM (it's one of the few recoveries for our tablet that's confirmed to be brickbug-free), and work as usual. But remember to wipe everything before installing anything through CWM...
If Odin doesn't work, you probably have been hit by the brickbug. However, all is not lost: this guy seems to have found a "fix" for many devices. It involves giving up on all your data and making your onboard storage a couple of GB smaller than it used to be, but it can make your device work again. Read the thread, try to understand it, and (if you can't find another way out) use the PIT file for the GT-6800 provided. If your tab isn't the international WiFi+3G GT-P6800, you may have to ask the guy (hg42) for a PIT tailored to your device.
The other option, in the case of a eMMC-related brick, is to remove all traces of CWM, go to a Samsung store and repair it under warranty, saying "its broke down when I were running that backie upppe thing in kies".
The other option is the better one, as i bricked my note. When i am able to revive it, i am left with 8GB space and it seems real laggy. Change a new motherboard would be better if still cover undr warrantly.
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium
Thanks for the replies guy.
I have decided I will return it as faulty, in the hope it is repaired. I haven't been able to boot into CWM anymore, only the download mode, so I am guessing it is fine to return it as it is?
Thanks

If I were you, I'd return it to something as close to stock as possible.
One suggestion: grab the latest Odin-flashable ROM for your country. You'll get a .tar.md5 file, such as P6800UBLA2_P6800ZTOLA2_ZTO.tar.md5. Try to flash it through Odin, just to see if it works; if it doesn't, write down the name of the .img file that gave you problems. If it works, congratulations, you have your tablet back, and you can stop reading.
Now, Rename that file to .tar (or, remove the .md5 extension), and open it in WinRAR/7zip/whatever. You'll see a lot of .img files inside, including the one that gave you problems. Remove it, and try to flash this new .tar file. If the flash works, proceed to the next paragraph. If it doesn't, write down the name of the .img file that gave you problems, and repeat this paragraph using your new .tar file.
After a flash that works, your device should be as close to stock as possible. Maybe it will even boot, but I wouldn't count on it (try anyway). I'd send it to the repair centre only when it is at this stage.

The tab gets stuck at 'factoryfs.img'. I'm a bit cautious since it is the biggest file in the .tar. Isn't the tab 'stock' stock enough as it is?:silly:

Even so, flash the other .imgs. You want to be closest to stock, including the recovery (imagine the guys at the Samsung centre manage to enter recovery, just to see CWM: your warranty is now gone). Having all partitions on stock, or at least most of them, can only help your case.

The warrenty is not void unless they find proof of tampering with system files. So basicly yeah...everything that guy said. Get it as close to stock as possible and send.

Right OK, I definately don't want my warrenty void!
So would it be ok if I flashed 'P6800OXALQ1_P6800XXLQ1_HOME.tar.md5' (minus the factoryfs.img) to my tab?

Can you get into Recovery Mode , if so then you can install any stock rom through odin.
If you can get in download mode, just find the Odin for your specific device and reflash.

If you can't get in download mode, its toast. Is it under warranty with Samsung? that's the only option if you can't get repairs done locally.
really
yeah it is under in warranty with samsung but it is bought in europe i guess england can it be repaired in germany or another europe country with that warranty?

Sorry, but how did you manage to overwrite the partitions responsible for recovery and download mode by 'deleting files'?
Is it that your device just does not respond to anything?
If so, it seems that the system hanged hardly but is still running. If it were a phone, I'd tell you to pull the battery out. All you can do with that thing is wait for it to discharge and power off. After it does you can try to put it in download mode. (But charge it a little before this!)

Don't forget about the thanks button
If you only removed empty folders, it is something else that caused this. Especially if your tablet isn't rooted (is it?). Anyway, try to contact Samsung online. Your local dealer can at least try to find the actual cause.

Well, then it is pointless to ask samsung official dealers to repair it. You can try to reflash everything, though.
BTW, has your device eaten up its battery already? I mean, does it react to anything (both plugged into the charger and not)?

You should've let it discharge. You could try to disassemble it, disconnect the battery and reconnect it, if you're OK with the possibility of breaking more things and probably voiding your warranty.

WARNING: THIS SBF MIGHT HARDBRICK YOUR XT530 AS REPORTED BY ONE OF THE USERS THAT TRIED. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE IF YOU HAVE HARDBRICKED YOUR PHONE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
@zhalx and @inyong1 I made compiled a SBF that contains XT532 Bootloader and Fastboot Mode. In some XT530 threads it claims that it can
Code:
fastboot boot
properly and doesn't have problems with flash huge system.img files to /system partition.
As I don't own a XT530, I need any experienced XT530/XT531 users to test it for me.
When you flash the SBF would anyone give me the screenshot of what the phone says when you flash the XT532 Bootloader and also a screenshot of RSD-Lite when you flash the SBF. Thanks.
I've made two test SBF's to see which one works. Please reply and tell me which test works. For e.g. if Test 1 soft bricks your phone then flash back your XT530/XT531 SBF and try test 2.
Instructions:
1. Download the Test 1 and Test 2 attachments.
2. Unzip the SBF out of the zip file.
3. Make sure all Motorola Drivers are installed.
4. Make sure RSD-Lite v5.6 and above is installed.
5. Power down your device.
6. Put your phone in flash-mode by pressing Power Button, Volume Down and Camera button simultaneously.
7. Now flash the Test SBF using RSD-Lite.
NOTE: You will get errors on your screen when you flash the SBF because it doesn't contain the successive MBN's to flash to the phone. Just disconnect the battery and put it back in. If your phone refuses to turn on then flash back your stock SBF.
I feel happy to know you are still trying for this. I can not try it now because my computer died.
may be suhu @zhalx or some one else.
Btw are you using whatsapp man?

Also, my main computer has died so I don't have a Linux system up and running.
2ndboot doesn't work for Qualcomm as it targeted for OMAP. The good thing about Qualcomm BP's is that they can be restarted without panicking, so we can use kexec instead. I got to learn how to compile modules first before moving onto this stuff. Sorry, I don't use a chat application.

Does the phone vibrate when you connect to the computer? If it does means that the phone is soft-bricked and we can flash a SBF to revive it.
This method hardbricks the device. It is advised not to use it. An IC (maybe software one) breaks and becomes liquid upon flashing. Therefore, the only solution to it is motherboard replacement.

SET WARRANTY BIT : KERNEL
Any ideas?

Set warranty bit kernel usually means that a custom kernel has been flashed on to the device. Bizarre if you say you have not rooted it etc.
Power the device off and go into recovery mode, power + home + up button, then do a full factory reset see if that fixes it.
If not try >

You may need to take back to Samsung...
No-one wants to give advice that can get you deeper into trouble than you already are...
Let this be a lesson, before you hit "start" make sure nothing but reset and f-reset time is ticked... All else can cause serious problems... Hopefully won't be an expensive lesson...

try to flash custom recovery, if any available there... wipe data and cache, then you need to install stock rom. so download stock rom for your country first.

here is the problem, i can't go to recovery because volume down didn't work, and this is why i end up flashing firmware.
i want to know if there is another way to go to recovery .

i can take any advice at this point. i can't take it to samsung because i might be the only one who owns this phone here. the local service said they can do nothing.
i've flashed a million times and this is the first time this happened to me. and Yes it is an expensive lesson, $1,200 expensive

you don't have to go into the recovery, you need to go download mode and flash custom recovery there...
feel sorry for you, custom roms or the roms that are not verified by samsung, are risky as hell. I flashed my Note II million times, but now i'm not interfering with my Note Edge.
may be you had better bring your phone to an authorized service. this doesn't seem to be a software problem.

Have you tried to flash stock rom for your country. Go sammobile and find your stock rom for your country, at least you can open your phone again.

it is the first thing i did, i flashed stock Firmware when the Nand Erase all was accidentally on, and i flashed it again (without Nand) but it didn't fix.
Possibly your phone has gone into bootloop. Release the battery for one minute. Then plug the battery again, Try to flash Rom with an higher Odin version...
However I found a solution in XDA

if it didnt work, unzip attached file and flash "param_I9505.tar" in pda. (without pit file)(dont tick re-partition)
im afraid that ticking "nand erase all" in odin, usually lead to a hard brick!
Duuude! It worked!!!!
Even without flashing param partition. Just the first step:

And ta-daaa! It works now. Ahhh! that was close! )))
You should write this instruction for [email protected] like me.
You can't imagine how I'm grateful to you!

The param_I9505.tar this refers to is for the Note 4(international). Are you REALLY sure this won't cause more problems? It's hard enough to fix something when you don't know what's wrong but adding another ingredient into the mix can REALLY make the brown stuff hit the whirlygig...
Also, Op shouldn't have flashed custom recovery, you need to send back to Samsung... Its possible you may have triggered the Knox warranty void. You may have to pay $$$ now to get it fixed....
Fooling around more will make sure you have a $1200 paperweight...

yeah it's solution for note 4 but i assumed that he already knew that... OP must have flashed proper file for his phone... I'M not referring Note 4 here.
