Help reviving my p3113 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here is the situation. I was on cm10 for a long time and decided to odin back to stock. When I did this, my 16gb tab became a 4.59gb tablet. I have been searching the web for days for a solution to this problem. The only thing I could come up with was that I needed to flash a .pit file in odin. Unfortunately for me, when googling for pit files and flashing instructions, the info was sparse. I had some help with pulling the pit file with heimdall-frontend, but since my tab is at 4.59 gb of internal memory I'm not sure if it is going to be much help.
My situation:
I flashed the pit file I pulled from my (now) 4 gb tab in combination with this file (HOME_P3113UEBLH2_999349_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5) in PDA. Tablet rebooted fine but still only had 4.59 gb internal storage. Now comes my boneheaded mistake. I now flash the 16 gb wifi only p3110 pit with the above tarball. Tablet reboots to a screen that reads:
Encryption failed
Unable to complete encryption due to interruption.
Perform factory data reset before use. After resetting, try
encrypting device again.
With a touch screen option to "reset device". When I touch that it boots to stock recovery to reset but I get this error:
wiping data...
formatting /data...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe failed.
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : XAR
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
-- Updating application...
E:failed to mount '/preload'(No such file or directory)
I have also tried flashing both 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 firmware and still get the above encryption error.
I am confident that I can recover this tab with the proper guidance, but I have no clue where/what to do from here. I can get into download mode, and I can boot the tab and get through the splash screen and boot animation (which then gets to the first error from above), and as long as I have the tablet plugged into a power source (turned on) and hold power + volume down, the tab turns off and will still charge. So I am not panicking, but I really do need some guidance please.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I have a tone of silly questions, so just bear with me here...
Next question, can you boot the device normally...?, and use normally...???

No problem. Your the only one on 4 forums that is offering any help, so ask away.
I can boot all the way up/get past the boot screen. However, instead of the lock screen, I get a white screen with this error:
Encryption failed
Unable to complete encryption due to interruption.
Perform factory data reset before use. After resetting, try
encrypting device again.
In the bottom right it says "reset device "
When I do that, I get the second error from above in stock recovery.

skennelly,
Have you tried Kies, although this appears to be an Firmware emergency recovery, for a phone. Can you give this a go...?, it is a Sammobile PDF. Here is the link...
---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------
Also, I have tried these places to try and get a proper .pit file, but after registering with them I still to this day can not gain access...???
But maybe you will have better luck...???

I am trying to imagine what this is...???
Another question, do you have a recovery (by pressing the Volume Up + Power button(s), and if so...?, Is it Stock or Custom...? If any of the two are in place, can you perform a Factory Reset Wipe...???

I will try the kies method that you have posted.
Also, I have tried droidevelopers.com and found a thread with a ton of pit files. However, they did not have one for the p3113 and no one has responded to my post, and I also sent a pm to the op of that thread and have not received a response. All of this occurred over a week ago.

And yes, I do have a stock recovery. I can get into recovery, download mode, and power down (and I can charge my tab when powered down).
I can even install a custom recovery, which I did. However, the custom recovery will abort the installation when I try to flash the .zip to root the tab and will abort the installation of a back up that I had.

In this image here, there is a "wipe data/factory reset" have you tried that selection, then rebooted...?
And also, it appears to be failing due to a ext4 partition format, not ext4 file format (this maybe confusing, so for now just ignore)...? But the question I am getting at is; do you have a external SdCard in place, if so can you remove it then attempt to restart or reboot the device...???
If that fails just after a reboot then preform the "wipe data/factory reset" then reboot again...!!!
I want to see what happens, so post the response.
But follow these steps;
Remove the Sdcard, the reboot...
If it fails, return back to Recovery
Preform "wipe data/factory reset, reboot...

I have performed a factory reset several times. Taking out the sd card and booting gave me the same encryption failed error.
Performing a factory reset without the sd card in gave me this error:

What do you mean by "super wipe"?
I just tried to install a rom. everything looked like it was going well, but then I got the same encryption error. Tried to format data in cwm and received another. Still can't boot to anything other that "encryption failed".

Also, on the Encryption page, I get a toast notication that "device is full, delete user data".

He is on CMW 6.0.1.0 I does not come with "superwipe"..., CWM 6.0.1.1, and the latest version TWRP, is not equipped with this either. I found it on a CWM Recovery designed for my HTC Evo 4g though.

nahh no problem dude, i know what its like to soft brick your phone so ill help to the best of my knowledge. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126631 it's here. on teddy's first post. so pretty much, you would download it, put it onto your phone which is the /sdcard part, then 'flash it' (fancy word for install) by going into cwm mode, and going to install .zip from sd card, find the cwm3xx file at the bottom, then flash it. THEN it'll pop up a 'new' cwm mode and from there factory reset, reset the cache, go to advance and erace dalvil cahe and check your mounts, then flash the new rom..if your trying to flash a rom that is lol. if you have questions post away!
oh and i think this should go in the general section.
Im stuck on the Sidekick/Tmobile/Samsung screen now and it will vibrate once, then 3 times then wait 3 seconds then vibrate once then 3 times etc.. WHy?? is it bricked now?

Yeahh that happened to me too, and i had to odin, but it wouldnt read the phone so i had to uninstall and reinstall the drivers on my comp. then go into download mode and odin.
Yup, that kept happening to me.. Im gonna try and install this cmw now.. By the way, do i still have to check the mounts and storage because i've successfully installed the maximus rom gingerclone. Do i have to check mounts and storage everytime i need to flash a rom, if so what should they be, as far as Data, sd card, cache, and system etc..?

no you do not have to check!
Yes you do need to check! Not checking is what makes you soft-brick.
it should read:
System: Unmount
Data: Unmount
Cache: Unmount
Anything else isn't an issue.
Don't worry about the errors reading that cache file, they happen to everyone, it's part of the kernel.

I am getting this error on my sidekick 4G
E:format_volume: make extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure
i was trying to upgrade to Lite'ning ROM but it gave me this error, i did already ODIN to stock and it did not work and what i mean by it did not worked i did get to stock and started from scratch but still getting the same errror..... any other suggestions?
Don't worry about that error, that just means that you don't have an android secure partition on your sdcard. nothing to worry about.
I don't see why red CWM would be any different from Orange CWM in having to check mounts... I always check my mounts, and have always had to.
well u say not to worry but i can't update the rom to the lightning rom b/c i cannot factory reset, if i don't factory reset, phone bricks
You don't have to factory reset, just make sure you check your mounts. that's why it's bricking.
ok... so what are the mounts?

You will find in the OP (original post #1) there is a step:
CWM Final
http://www.krylon360.com/file_host/sk4g/update.zip
Place in the root of your SD.
After your in clockwork mod recovery (orange) (and have downloaded the update.zip to sd card) make the selection: -apply sdcard:update.zip (this will load cwm again (red cwm)
Now: reattempt!

sgs4g BRICKED help!

Getting a E: failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
e:\format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
on samsungs recovery screen. it boots up only in to here not OS
had OC'd my phone using method in bible and my phone froze and wouldnt boot. tried to just odin a new kj3 and this is where i started to notice the brick.
I also tried a method by krylon which he provided me PIT file and to odin with partition checked and didnt help.
I think my partitions are all wacked. Anybody have a fix for this?
In the vibrant forums there are fixes with the exact same issue but i cant find any on sgs4g forum. And I obviously dont want to flash vibrant files. Their fix requires a odin pit file with partition checked.
Thanks!!
I have had this happen to me. I all I did was reformatted and partioned the drive using pc. The program is called magic something. Do that then ordinary and you should be good as new.
It's not bricked if it still turns on.

The method I gave you does work. I know because I made it happen last night. had voodoo enabled, ODINED KH2 (with sbl) and stock KH2 kernel, and the Pit that I pulled off my phone, it rebooted me into stock recovery, with the same error. I did a factory reset through recovery, as well as wiped cache. I still had the same error, but when I rebooted the phone (through recovery) everything came up just as it should.
i appreciate the help you've given me krylon, and i do believe you. how ever im not sure why its not working for me i also tried what you just posted. what does (with sbl) mean? when i try rebooting from the stock recovery after factory reset and cache wipe, it says cant mount data rebooting and just reboots back in to recovery, im also getting errors on factory resetting
@HB66 what do you mean ordinary? is that a program
and it will actually wipe the internal drive?
I got the rainbow screen when i boot into download mode and my phone wont rebboot fully
Sorry I ment odin but the phone got it wrong.
You need gb bootloader, odin the kernel, and kg4 should fix it. The flash your rom
Try unchecking repartition if you get that error again...

[Q] Am i bricked?

I bought galaxy fit just a week ago and rooted it 4 days ago. It worked fine after rooting.
Today, i was trying to install an update.zip with DSP manager and i got this message
"finding the package ....bla bla bla
installation started
installation aborted"
I thought i failed and selected to reboot the device. Now my phone is stuck at a screen with "SAMSUNG" written on it and vibrates every now and then.
** i see the boot animation
** I can enter the debug (or whatever) mode. Where we can update from an update.zip and reset
So my question is "AM i bricked??? How do i recover?

Flash cwm through odin , do backup through it, then flash a new firmware..
Flash cwm again and restore everything other than system through advanced restore.
That's what I would have done.

Do not use ROM MANAGER. You will brick your phone for real
Its not totally bricked. anyway flash clockworkmod and then flash another rom but first make sure you made a backup of your ROM through the Clockwork Mod so you can revert back to that rom from before and then flash a new rom and it should boot up.
like what the above poster said ^
Not bricked
Same thing happened to me last week
i installed creed's rom v1.0 via odin.
Cleared user data and wiped cache .
And it rebooted perfectly.
No you haven't bricked your phone dude....the same thing happened to me and all what I did was I reflashed CWM and then installed CM 7.1...and my phone was back to normal....

Problem installing Android KitKat (either Omnirom or Cyanogenmod)

Hi!
I'm experiencing an annoying problem while updating my XOOM (MZ605) with the latest KitKat ROM.
I followed the instructions to repartition my device, and I tried using both Omnirom and Cyanogenmod roms, but I get the same error everytime.
In the step of wiping everything (but the SD card), I get a couple of messages saying that it was unable to mount cache to E: drive. TWRP recovery system says that the wipe process failed. Anyway, I went further in the steps, and I was able to flash the room and the gapps (it passes the BigPart partition check), but when I boot into system, my xoom stays stuck at the splash screen; it is not booting.
I tried both Omnirom and Cyanogenmod, and I get stuck in the same place. I thought I messed some part, so undone the BigPart, installed stock rom from motorola, and started over. But got the same problem.
I would liek to know if anyone know whats going on with the partiitoning, and if I can get rid of the mounting errors.
Thank you!

In your process of wiping...did you try to wipe just the cache by itself. When I got that error message i would go back to the main menu in recovery and just wipe the cache (or whatever giving me an error message) by itself.

Same problem here... I can't properly do some of the advanced wipes in the process of trying to install omni.
I did as you suggested and tried wiping them individually but to no success.
I am definitely not as fluent in this stuff as a lot of you on here are, but I am competent/confident enough to follow good instructions.
Somebody help please!
Cant install KitKat Roms
I am having the same issue and have done the same thing. Tried installing both CM and OMNI with no success. the recovery is telling me the came thing that it cannot mount E:\ 'cache' and other files i need to wipe.
Some one please help.
i was wondering...
i was wondering if the fact that i used to have a custom rom and then reverted back to stock (relocked the bootloader and unrooted successfully) last year before i attempted the omni install could be a factor?
But it worked before

I'm getting the same "can't mount cache" error when converting to Big Part - I had previously been running several Big Part roms, and had no problem with the conversion at that time - I then reverted back to stock (using VZW OTA's) for awhile, but want to give the Big Part roms another shot - I've tried several methods of reverting to stock, then coming back to install a 10.1 ROM, which is successful, but when I flash the Big Part TWRP and try the conversion, I get the cache mount error every time - I can revert to the "normal" TWRP, reformat, and re-install non-big part roms without a problem - help us Obi Wan! WTF?
I was getting the same thing as you guys. Stuck on splash screen. What I did to fix mine was under TWRP go to wipe, did factory reset wipe, then data wipe. Then mine worked for me. Takes about 3-5 minutes to boot on 1st start after wiping. Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention click the format data tab under wipe and type yes.
I just had this same experience. I think the directions are somehow missing a step or we're misreading it.

A day not spent well
I am having the same issue all of you guys are having. I had 10.1 stingray (4.2.2) running well and thought it was time to try Kit Kat. Both the ROMs wind up the same way, a loooong running splash screen (over an hour before I manually rebooted). Over and over no mater how many ways I tried to wipe the XOOM I kept getting the Can't mount the cache message. I was able to revert back to 10.1 but I can't figure why others can make the install and we cannot. I have asked others on the forum but no one can answer the question?
Anyone? Thanks! Paddy
I was finally able to figure this out last night. I was looking at my cache and data formats and both were formatted as f2fs. I believe it's under wipe in the latest TWRP (2.7.1.0), there's an option on the left that shows you the format type of your drives. On non BigPart TWRP I changed the cache and data to ext4. Rebooted back into recovery, and followed the guide posted here to apply BigPart to my Xoom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506997 :: Then I was able to load Omni BigPart edition with no issues at all. I'd be happy to give more details if anyone wants. I'm in the office now, otherwise I'd post some snap shots. I'll update this when I get home.
has anyone recovered from the "unable to mount cache" error? I have followed all the information in this thread, checked out the relevant links all to no avail.
The only additional data I can provide is that when I go into the wipe menu (TWRP 2.7.1) / advanced / select cache / and "repair or change" I have all 0's for the cache size MBs. Repairing the cache or changing file system claims to be successful, but it's always 0 MBs. For grins I tried all of the above with TWRP 2.6.3 and had no better results.
Thanks in advance.

Nexus 5 stuck in boot loop animation (MMB29V Marshmallow)

no power button problem
without any reason the phone rebbot itself and stuck in boot loop animation....stock MMB29V Marshmallow , no root, only unlocked
tried:
-wipe cache and data
-reinstalling all singles images files
-reinstalling with flash all bat and finally it works...
what's the problem???
and now? there is something to check? have to change the phone???
tnx
Manually flash each partition again, including userdata.img partition. After flashing the last partition, boot directly to recovery using the power and volume keys (don't reboot the phone at all after flashing the last partition), perform a factory wipe, and reboot.
Ok but i need ti know if is possible to check the health device status
What do you mean by health? You mean each component?
I mean if is possible that something hardware is defective or going to be defective.
can I run some tests?
I know of no tests that are available to the public.
Ok

I have a similar problem with my N5, it was originally a power-button issue, and after some "whacking" the phone no longer "repeatedly reset" but now it just sits on the "Google" boot screen forever. Probably something got messed up during all the unintended reboots. I already went into recovery and did a factory reset, no luck. Tried flashing to older ROMs, no luck. Started hitting up forums, saw this post, tried your suggestion (flash each partition manually, did a "fastboot reboot-bootloader", enter recovery, wipe, and reboot), and still no luck.
I can get into fastboot/recovery, and even tried loading custom ROMs (CM13 to be exact). No matter what I tried, the phone will power-up, and stuck at the "Google" screen. Note that I've always waited at least an hour after flashing each version before I reboot from the "Google" screen.
I've read somewhere there is a "persist(?)" partition which will throw some error if corrupted, but it will require USB debugging enabled to fix. Unfortunately, I can't boot into any ROM to enable USB debugging...
Am I SOL or is there anything else I can try?
Thanks,
Wallace

Are you getting any errors when performing a factory wipe? Does the factory wipe happen very quickly? You flashed the userdata.img partition too?

First time I did a wipe it took over an hour, then the phone rebooted to the dead android screen. So I tried to wipe again, and it seems like all subsequent wipe took anywhere between 3-5 minutes. No error on each wipe (can't say on the first one, since by the time I got back to the phone it has already rebooted). And yes, I did flashed everything - boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata, bootloader, radio - not exactly in that sequence, but all of those partitions are flashed with the image that comes with the Google download package. Then factory reset and reboot.
Thanks,
Wallace
Maybe try erasing cache and data using fastboot commands? If this doesn't work, it's possible that there is a hardware problem with the phone's internal memory.

Did a "fastboot format cache" and "fastboot format userdata", no error. Still won't boot... are those the commands you are referring to?
Yup, or fastboot erase cache or fastboot erase data.
Sounds like the emmc may be messed up.

Tried all those, and yes same result... also, I flashed a different recovery (TWRP) and thereafter I can't even flash new ROMs anymore. ADB Sideload error our (forgot to write down the error message), and if I copy the file to internal storage and flash from there, TWRP will get stuck for hours.
How common are eMMC corruptions?
W.
The emmc problem is not that common, but it does happen. I'm not sure if it is partition or software corruption or a physical defect.
Other xda members have encountered emmc problems too that could only be fixed through a motherboard swap.
I am running into a situation emmc. the problem is I tried below action so far
1. Attempted to flash recovery partition which failed immediately after first reboot . it never got flashed correctly
2. Attempted to format all the partitions but I could format boot partition I could format no other partition it clearly says that can't mount
3. Then I tried to boot using fastboot command into recovery partition my command is
Fastboot boot recovery.img
I tried cwm I tried TWRP . only 2.6 dot x x worked in twrp. Cwm was not so helpful because it does not give me many features likewise TWRP
Once I boot in the recovery it asks for password if I click cancel it shows me all the interfaces but nothing works I don't have any local storage available it clearly fails to read it and everything shows is encrypted I don't know not sure what is going on there
When I attempt to format I get a error message as no partition available for this operation. No file system available
About phone but I think I am still searching for options but so far I could see that this is e MMC issue and there is no partitions available on this memory I am not able to format this internal memory I am new to the Linux environment and not sure what to do to format this internal emmc...
Can someone suggest any options to format and Re partition the emmc?

The constant boot looping could be a power button problem?

Maybe im mistaken but evertime i had to put in a password in ttwrp i had gotten encrypted...you get it fixed? My friends started bootlooping for no reason and wouldnt stop til the battery was dead.. Never seen a stock phone do that..
