i tried rooting my phone on 2.3.5 then found out i needed 2.3.3 max to root, so i tried flashing 2.3.3 to my phone, something went wrong and now after several attepths at restoring it it just boot cycles. i can get into download mode no problem, but it doesnt matter what i flash it tells me it cant mount efs or dbdata. is there a way to fix this or do i need to send my phone off to get it repaired?
melli.
could reflashing the efs sort this? if so where can i download it? cause i can't find the efs.rfs anywhere...

THATS MEAN THE BUILD IN MEMORY CHIP HAS BEEN PHYSICALY DAMGED ONLY REBALLING OR CHANGING THAT CHIP CAN ONLU SOLVE YOU PROBLEM THERE IS NOTHING U CAN SOLVE THIS BUY SOFTWARE ITS NOT A SOFTWARE PROBLEM..................
What planet are you living on mate??? Its nothing to do with a damaged memory chip. Its cause a flash failed and the boot loader is looking for a partition that doesn't exist cause its not all there.
If you must post please make sure you have a clue what you're posting...

Hi, I was trying to install an ICS ROM on my Nexus S i9020a last night, and I must have messed something up. The ROM installed but it just hung on the google logo. So I went back into recovery (CWM 3.0.0.5) to restore my nandroid backup but I got:
E:format_volume: no MTD partition "boot"
Error while formatting BOOT : !
E:Failed to find "cache" partition to mount at " /cache"
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't find misc
E:failed to find "cache" partiton to mount at " /cache"
I don't know much about what these things, but I imagine the seemingly missing cache is the problem. I cannot mount or format the cache either. I get similar errors. Flashing roms seems to 'work', but I still get the bootloop. Flashing img's does not work. "Installation aborted".
I have no idea what I can do to reverse this. At this point, I want to restore to stock. I hope I haven't done permanent damage. Can anyone please help me with this?
First try to upgrade to the latesy cwm. It had very much bugs fixed

Computer doesn't seem to recognize the phone in fastboot mode, can you link me to the a newer CWM zip so I can flash it in recovery?
Hi,
after auto nightly install, my P5113 stays in booloop. In recovery I've failed to mount /efs (Invalid Argument)
Since 2 days, I've made "format", "wipe" and reinstall official ROM but nothing new ...http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/crying.gif
Can I remount EFS with ODIN ? or directly from sd-card ?
Thank's
