[Q] Samsung GT-I9000 E:unknown - cant start the system - General Questions and Answers

I need help with my samsung GT-I9000.
I cant start the system anymore, connection with computer works.
I had Adroid v 4.0.3 and it was working ok, just tried to start a new build version. Then i accidently cut the connection, so i had to load via odin .512 and CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVS-v4.1-CWM3RFS now i am deadlocked, no idea how to fix the problem.
My screen shows:
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5 (Problem I might have deleted it)
- reboot system now
- apply update from sdcard
....
(tried out everyone, non worked)
E: unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]
E: unknown volume for path ....
Thank you for help

did you check repartition in odin while flashing stock rom?
had the same error once and with repartition and a stock rom everything was okay again..

[Q] SGH-i896 bricked?

Hey everyone, today I tried to revert to my original stock rogers firmware via the clockwork recovery backup I made. After booting, it gets passed the i896 page and continues until it says ANDROID in a graphic image. This flashes every once in awhile. But after an hour of just leaving it, it's still in the same cycle. I can boot into recovery but when I try to install a new rom it says:
"E: Can't mount /dev/block/st19
(No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount SYSTEM:
E: Failure at line 2:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
Installation aborted"
If I go into the Mounts and Storage Menu it shows that /system isn't mounted and the same error occurs if I try to mount it. If I try to do a restore from either of my clockwork backups it says the MD5 sums don't match.
As I'm fairly knew to android I'm apprehensive to go any further because I think I'll probably make it worse. I'm thinking I'll use Odin, if there aren't any other suggestions, I've just never used it before and don't have windows installed at the moment.
What do you guys think is the best course of action?
Thanks for your help.
Get yourself into download mode and flash to stock using Odin. Then root and install the rom of your choosing (I recomend Assonance)

Before people can help you, you need to give more information.
What is the model for your phone and is it rooted?
If so, what ROM is it running and what custom recovery do you have?

Ok you can't "apply sdcard:update.zip" because even though you rooted your phone, you don't have a custom recovery. You have the stock recovery image that comes with your phone. This means that every zip you try to "apply" or flash will automatically be checked for a signature (to make sure its a valid update from the manufacturer). Since the ROMs usually don't have signatures, it won't work
Never mind about finding out the ROM. since you have a stock recovery, it looks like you haven't put any custom ROM on it. you are running the stock android OS that came with the phone.
It seems your OS got messed up when you tried to root the phone. The One Click root method you used I believe wasn't fully compatible with your phone. You should have used "Universal Root." Anyway, Give me a day or two. I will see If I can find you an official zip belonging to your manufacturer. THAT you can push back onto your phone and get your OS back and in working order.
Cheers!
P.S: Check if there is an option in recovery mode called "Toggle Signature verification" I doubt it but if there is it would DEFINITELY help you.

I'd recommend changing to CWM recovery via rom manager if you need to toggle verification. Rom manager from the market will flash a recovery for you also.

Same Problem with HTC Hero, after one click (z4root) root
Hi @ all,
i have the same problem with my hero, and every solution that i can find is using fastboot, but with Eclair i cant´s use it.
So please help.
Here is some dato of my hero:
HERO CVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (HERO10000)
MICROP-010f
Radio-6.35.15.11
1. If your USB debugging is enable then you can fix your problem.
2. official update.zip can fix your problem.
You can't do anything(but your mobile company can help you)
1. Your mobile company not release any update for your device
2. If USB Debugging is disable
I send my Micromax Mobile on 08 Feb, 2011 and Still no info on my device, Micromax = Poor Quality Support, Wastage of money.
@Micromax - Please close your company.... and move your company to your own country....
I tryed to fix it with every update.zip I found in web by
downloading the zip
rename to update.zip
format sd card
copy update.zip to sd card
start in recovery mode
try to start update
... and get a varification failed error
Has somebody a working update.zip, or can say where can I get it and if my steps are right?
1. If your update.zip is not official(signed) then you can't update your device.
Download this and rename this file to update.zip and retry.
Its a signed update.zip
http://www.filecrop.com/40683206/index.html (Link is valid for 30 minute)
If not work then just find your radio update in this list..
http://www.filecrop.com/update-Hero.html
Thank you very much, I will try it tonight.
Damn, now I get a
"failed to verify whole-file signature" error???
What´s wrong now?
Maybe I need a Certificate to put on my sdcard for the whole file?

[Q] E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)

Hello everyone. I'm a new member here so if I forget to mention crucial information needed to get technical support, please let me know.
Surprisingly it all started when my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 (SM-P900) was low on battery yesterday. I had to go to college so I took my external battery with me and charged it in my backpack. I didn't need my tablet so I left it in there (was working fine before) and I came back to it this morning to find that it had restarted. It was on the glowing blue Samsung logo, but it wouldn't load past that. I tried restarting it and it wouldn't boot past the logo no matter what. So I tried booting into Android System Recovery (Power + Volume UP) to wipe the cache and still, same results. This is where I can see the error "E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)".
I also did the following:
*Download Samsung Kies (both version 3 and the other since each one says it's not supported and to download the other) and try to resolve the issue. Tablet could not be recognized by either version. No fix.
*Download ADB and the official firmware and flash it (adb gives various errors, ex: can't connect. I may be doing the commands wrong as I'm no expert at this). No fix.
*Download Odin in an attempt to flash it, but the first search result in google was a professional-looking website that actually had a trojan-horse for download; had to shut down my PC and run MalwareBytes, Avast! and McAffee to ensure that nothing remained.
I've been at this since morning. I've also looked at other topics and websites about this problem but I can't seem to find a straight-forward solution. Can anyone please help? I desperately need my tablet for work as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance, and please be precise and clear with your answers (because I'm not so good at Android/Linux commands, or rooting or anything that isn't spoon-fed).
Update: Still not working after I tried to apply TWRP 2.8.6.0 (zip) through System Recovery. After finding, opening and verifying the package it gives the following error message:
E: failed to seek in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Value too large for defined data type), E: signature verification failed, E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument).
I should also note that throughout the entire time I used the official firmware, I haven't used any custom ROMs but I'm now open to it since I have to do all this.
Update 2: Downloaded Cyanogenmod Installer and while it was about to install, it detected the device needed to be repaired. My device was in Android System Recovery under the "apply update from ADB" selection, and these errors came up when Cyanogenmod tried to fix it: "E: footer is wrong, E: signature verification failed".
BIG Update (3): I managed to find the legit Odin application and flashed TWRP v2.8.6.0. However, I'm not sure what to do from this point on out. Help?
Hi.
I am in the same situation. Have you found a solution ?
Thanks in advance.

Samsung S7 Edge stuck on "Powered by android"

[Problem solved] If anybody faces this kind of problem please notice it is not the problem of Nand-erase but DRK error and flashing with .pit file won't fix your problem. Just go to this discord group, https://discord.gg/Z4UZheJ [permanent] and ask for #Augustin. He will solve your problem 100%. He did for me. Full working network + rooted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, I was trying to update my s7 edge (SM-G935FD) with Oreo 8.0 from Nougat 7.0 with a custom firmware from sammobile.com.
The used file is: sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935FD/BNG/download/G935FXXS3ERHD/236500/
But when flashing with Odin I accidentally selected "Nand Erase" option. After the operation completed my phone tried to boot up, showed installing updates, then tried to boot again and now permanently stuck on "SAMSUNG Galaxy S7 edge POWERED BY android".
Still, I can access "download mode" by using "Power + down + home" button and "android recovery" by using "Power + up + home" button.
While loading android recovery screen it shows, "Installing update..." then "Error" with an icon of android eyes crossed.
In my recovery menu, these lines are shown:
#fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)#
#Reboot Recovery Cause is [UNKNOWN]#

I flashed with this same firmware to no avail. I have also tired "Wipe data / Factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition". Nothing worked.
Now, other people who have tired this firmware faced the same problem for #fail to open recovery_cause
But, in my case, as bold lines indicates, this is may be due to using "Nand Erase" in Odin.
I do have :
Nougat 7.0 firmware for my device [Please notice that its baseband is U2 - so I can't downgrade bootloader from S3 to U2 hence can't flash with Nougat]
.pit file for my device [not sure about this one - I actually need a valid pit file from the above firmware, others don't seem to work.]
I have tried Z3box / octopus / smart switch samsung software to recognize my device, but they always reply with "Card not found". My Windows treats my device as unrecognized in this situation.
Please help me fix this issue. I just have bought this phone - second hand.
-----------------------------------
Update - I tried to use stock recovery files to flash with TPRW stock recovery. After I did that It started the tprw recovery and I installled two files
1. twrp-3.1.0-0
2.SR3-superuser
It completed and when I selected to reboot my phone, it just won't turn on anymore. I guess it is due to my partition is all messed up. I forced it to start up using my charger cable and plugging it to charging. Using "Download mode" then I tried to uninstall this TPRW and flashed only "AP" with "G935FXXU2ERD5" with odin as I was unable to find any stock recovery for "G935FXXS3ERHD".
Now, I am stuck with U2 bootloader whereas I need S3 bootloader. My phone still doesn't turn on normally. I have to plug it in charging port / USB cable to pc, then it goes straight up to "Android Recovery" and Now shows this:

Dear all,
I don't know how to say it, but a miracle just happened. My phone was stuck to "Android recovery" mode for half an hour. The charging cable was plugged in - in this time. Right before I am about to disconnect the cable in order to take it to repair shop, it started booting out of nowhere. :fingers-crossed:
Then I set up the device and the device installed applications by itself. God knows what happened but here is my system spec now :
Android version 8.0.0
Samsung Experience version 9.0
Baseband version G93FXXU3ERHC
Kernel version 3.18.91-13895453-QB19588583
Build number R16NW.G93FXXS3ERHD
The TPRW application is also installed.
I don't know what happened but it has managed to boot.
--------------------------------
The problem I faced is, It doesn't let me select any network carrier for my region instead it just says, "Failed to connect! Try again later."
Now I am afraid to even restart the device fearing if it gets stuck in the boot loop again. I am so scared I don't know if I will flash this device with any stock firmware anymore.
And the "Android recovery" option still shows "Installing updates" following with "Error" with android icons eye crossed out + shows previous error messages still the same.

Thank you, everyone.
If you could just help me solve my problems I will be always grateful to you guys and this community.
@jaqjacek if you can point out a tutorial to me or just explain the steps elaborately that would be helpful.
@yakapa40 if you can help me how to use those files, please.
My device is now booted up but still showing errors in "Android recovery" option + the sim network doesn't work.

Ok, sir, I will try and let you know. One question though, is there any possibility that my phone may be stuck in the boot loop again while doing this .pit flash?
My android recovery says:
Android Recovery
samsung/hero2ltexx/hero2lte
8.0.0/R16NW/G935FXXU2ERD5
user/release-keys
use volume up/down and power.
is there any possibility that my phone may be stuck in the boot loop again while doing this .pit flash?
i don't know , flashing pit file will remove partitions and flashing firmware will re mount partitions ( but not Non Volatile memory )

Dear sir,
I am still waiting for some kind of help. I haven't flashed my phone with .pit file cause I am too scared that my phone will get stuck in boot loop again. Please, somebody, help me. If I get stuck in the boot loop again, I don't think I can revert back to current position [Cause I don't know how my phone was fixed, it just fixed itself somehow.] and I can't take the stress. Please somebody who is an expert on this matter, please help me. I beg you.
I am still waiting for someone to reply to my post. I have not fixed my problem and honestly, I can't think I can until someone expert help me in this matter. Please, someone, help me.

I Fix that problem Yesterday on my phone. Download latest rom with proper country from https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=sm-g930f&exact=1&r=&v=&rpp=15
Unzip it
take out latest PIT file from CSC file. I just use Total Comander and treat tar.md5 file like any other compress archive
Use odin 3.13.1 put BL to BL, CP to CP... Use CSC file not HOME_CSC and remember you will lose your data on phone.
PUT pit in pit panel.
Flash it with every option check but one. The Reboot Phone should be uncheck.
When Every thing will be good restart your phone with combination Vol- + HOME + power
Phone will run erasing , reboot and show "no command" if not and its boot normally you lucky.
if "no command"
-put phone into download mode
download latest twrp.tar.md5 and put in in AP section inside odin
flash it with every thing uncheck in odin no reboot, no erase nand
reboot your phone and go to recovery vol+ + HOME + power when phone start booting
if TWRP boots just plug phone back to computer download no-verify script zip put it on phone and flash it, or use adb sideload
wipe cache and factory reset
reboot phone
every thing should be ok from now
if phone after some time will have poor network connection or GSM singal will be gone thats is the problem that I don't have fix for now.

I Fix that problem Yesterday on my phone. Download latest rom with proper country from https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=sm-g930f&exact=1&r=&v=&rpp=15
Unzip it
take out latest PIT file from CSC file. I just use Total Comander and treat tar.md5 file like any other compress archive
Use odin 3.13.1 put BL to BL, CP to CP... Use CSC file not HOME_CSC and remember you will lose your data on phone.
PUT pit in pit panel.
Flash it with every option check but one. The Reboot Phone should be uncheck.
When Every thing will be good restart your phone with combination Vol- + HOME + power
Phone will run erasing , reboot and show "no command" if not and its boot normally you lucky.
if "no command"
-put phone into download mode

Thank you for the very late reply. I have updated my post a long time ago and you will see following your method wouldn't fix my phone properly - the connection issue remained although the booting up was solved. You can't fix the DRK (Device root key) error in this process. You have to flash with a modified combination file to fix this error. It is only possible by the Samsung developers as the bootloader itself is in the Trusted App Sector.
I have mentioned in my edited post that Augustin in a PDA Group in Discord [The link is provided at the start] fixed my problem. As I followed his method, I realized no matter how many times I would've flashed my device with the stock Rom's .csc it wouldn't fix my problem. I initially thought that flashing with .pit file would fix my phone because I used Nand Erase - but I was wrong. It was a safety measure by Samsung to protect their device. You need a modified .csc file that Augustin gave me. I can give you all the files he gave me to use but I think it would be better if you contact him instead. The process is so complicated it took me 5 hours.
I flashed with the combination file he gave me, then flashed the stock rom's .csc separately. Then I tried to flash the whole ROM again. It worked but with no network. Then I installed TWRP recovery, edited some system file [I don't remember which one but he said to me that I needed refreshed new files], then formatted. Then did the whole process again. At some point, I remember I faced some problem with Bootloader exception [You will too because of the combination file but its ok], just follow this video when you need it cause he didn't know exactly how to fix this for the s7 edge but this video showed how.

At last for many trials and errors my phone was fixed. I couldn't thank him enough bro.
I don't think anybody on the internet can fix this with custom combination lock like him. Trust me cause I searched a lot. They even kicked me from XDA Discord group when I posted this exact solution pointing out to the PDA group after asking to help me [when no one did]. I don't know what it is between them, but they kicked me.
You can have the files if you know what to do by yourself. Just give me a knock, I will give you the Google drive link to the files. Thanks anyway.

[problem] GPS issue/unknown system error

Hello, first i have to explain that i tried everything to avoid ask for help here, but i have no more ideas how to try a fix by myself.
I have a huge issue in my S8+ (exynos), the first is that GPS doesn´t working properly, the second (maybe because a nand system error), everytime i go to the original recovery, a error message appears.
#fail to open recovery_cause (no such file or directory)
reboot recovery cause is [UNKNOWN]
Support single-SKU
File based OTA
Supported API: 3
E: unknown volume for path [/odm]
E: unknown volume for path [/vendor]
E: unknown volume for path [/odm]
E: unknown volume for path [/vendor]
Manual mode v1.0.0
remove failed dir /system/carrier/ATT/priv--app/attIqi_ATT nmo such file or directory
can´t open directory: sup cid permissions
E: [Libsfs_mgr] firmware info was not valid /proc/device-tree no such file or directory.
why i have these errors in my recovery, is the GPS problem related with this issue?
I tried everything that i know: rooted my device, backed up the EFS folder, used this thread and flashed my phone via TWRP, did a fully nand wipe (EFS included) without solving anything.

I did a full nand wipe a lot of times, i also used a PIT file to rebuild the entire partitions, but something else still missing , my knowledge about this specific issue is very basic at this point.

Those errors are ok. It at least are on us snap dragon models. Some ones flashed as us based csc on it. This is not related to GPS. Do not worry about them leave it be.
I see you say GPS isn't working correctly. Which tells me it is just not good. Is this a correct assumption

well, it´s a akward situation because the GPS troubles started when i flashed a diferent rom that was not released in my country, mine is TPH, i flashed a unlocked firmware from Germany, but i did mess because put the second CSC file (that is used to keep personal data untouched) in the userdata tab in odin. :/
thanks a lot man
