(Q) How To Correct Corrupted/Faulty DATA Partition on P6800?

Hello..
I'm getting ERROR message everytime I try to enter the recovery mood. Its happened 2 days ago. I've tried to flash the stock ROM for several times and hoping that could correct this issue. Unfortunately, that couldn't help and leaving me dissapointed.
I noticed this issue for the first time when my device cannot process the command line "Updating BLA BLA..." during entering the recovery mood. Its stop there and nothing is happened for about more than 5 minutes until I forced it to shutdown by long pressing the power button. Then, I tried to enter the recovery mood for the second time. You guys know what happened to my device?
I predict that situation is okay until when I try to WIPE all data and encountered an error message with the red text asking me to 'use UI to format system and reboot'.
But, I still don't know what to do. I'm hoping that you guys with kind hearted to please do help me. Thanks in advance.
One more thing, please teach me how to make this flash counter mark (!) disapear......... THANKS.

Mind was replaced new mainboard.
If you cannot, I recommend you read Samsung note forum. There are thread about 'parted' command to repartition to skip bad block. Mind was success to skip and boot but lost a lot of gigabyte.

Thanks for replying to my question.. Will read the forum for sure.. Thank you.

Recently I faced the similar problem twice. The 1st time was using ODIN to flash the latest CWM and then format the DATA folder through the advance setting... solved the problem...
2 days ago, I faced the same problem again and the solution above won't help at all. I use the ODIN flashed the original Samsung firmware and do reset to default through the original recovery and it works. But I lost all my internal data in the internal memory.
So, you could try the suggestion above if it helps. Just the 2nd one WILL DELETE ALL DATA and it is UNRECOVERABLE. So you been warned. Don't blame me if you lost your multi-billion project file.

thanks, btw..
*Question: I'm using Odin 3 v1.85. Is only the Odin 3 v1.70 could correct the problem?

I accidentally installed busybox by CWM but it was designed for galaxy tab 10.1 instead of galaxy note 10.1. Now, the device has some problems like it does not detect the sim cart and so on. I can install new frameworks and I have CWM but nothing happens when I install new framework or wipe the device. Also, I tried a stock rom but .... .
I really need help.
sorry for bad english.

Never would have guessed busybox that is usually pretty generic and doesn't have much to do with nonroot apps would cause issues like what you seem to be experiencing.. crazy stuff but good luck!
If nothing else Odin back to newest stock using the stock Odin package that is usually found among your device "stickied" threads. I don't have a gnote but I have had many galaxy devices and Odin is the cure for all ills

How can I reset the device to first time run state. Like it asked me about personal info and gmail account at start up?
each time I install new framework it begins to the OS without asking about these info.

Could always try to install busybox from the market.. Exactly what zip did you use and where did it come from please I would like to look inside it

Flash stock in ODIN. Wipe data/factory reset in stock recovery. Reboot. Enjoy.
Check Triangle Away thread for flash counter. You didn't do your homework. You should learn how to recover your device BEFORE you frak it up. Good luck.

There is point when I start in system recovery it shows:
E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)
is it ok?
also the yellow hint in the screen that I showed in the first comment indicates a software error.

Thank you for your help. But I think I have a different problem. I flashed stock rom (several big roms about 1GB) but nothing happened. When I try to wipe data/factory reset it shows E; failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument). I think I need to mount /efs and format it.

I think I missed some files in the efs folder. the phone status shows that some basic info are missed from the phone. check the attached.

[Q] Help please

Hello, I am brand new here and I have to a serious problem with my galaxy s3 (verizon). Today I rooted and installed clockwork recovery and created a backup within the app everything seemed to well and I rebooted. Then I noticed I could get custom roms in clockwork mod and tried getting cyanogen mod for it. Downloaded and continued to install. Then when it booted I got a cyanogen mod boot screen loop . So I said ok and went to recovery and tried to restore my phone from the backup I made only to find that "no files were found" in clockwork recovery. So at this point I just want my phone to boot up and work with my data on it. Is there a way to remove cyanogen mod or even use my backup that was created and in fact does take up space on my sd card but can't seem to find. I thanks in advance .

Ok after some searching it seems that I have forgotten to do something with the boot.img file in the zip. If someone could give me instructions on what to do with it I would really appreciate it. Lol I know most of you are pulling your hair out about my mistakes but hopefully this can be resolved soon.

Nothing with a boot.img that's for HTC devices
Did you clean wipe/facotry reset before installing cm?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I have not. But if I do that that means I lose everything correct and cannot get it back? Or is there a way I can do a restore after I wipe and I get it back? After looking at this question I realize it sounds dumb lol. Also I just did this using a download from clockwork mod and after I did it I looked back at cyanogen mods website and there are more steps involved such as flashing certain files (which was not done because I did not know) I though if I downloaded it from clockwork mod that was the only step I had to take.

You have to clean install you can't just flash roms over each other. That was the reason for your bootloop and nope bud you've most likely have to clean install now. That backup should be somewhere if just click restore and it should find your backup?

Bingo. Always clear delvik cache and cache when flashing. It's also good to wipe data when upgrading a Rom and a must when going to a different Rom.

Hi, i'm a noob fresh out of youtube and I have successfully rooted my phone and gotten CWM and the Recovery Image flashed but the problem comes into play when I try to make a backup of my stock rom and my phone reboots into the recovery mode and it gives me the options to
1. reboot
2. reinstall
3. delete user data
4. wipe caches
and it says # Manual Mode #
Appling CSC...Installing CSC but it doesn't do anything and i've let it sit there for a minute nothing even pops up. Help please? I'm kinda at a loss here. lol

Hey so I tried to get the custom recovery...am I supposed to delete the old "recovery" file and place the modded one there or am I just supposed to leave it alone? I have the update.zip file in the root of my sdcard but still I tried to boot it into the cwm recovery mode and still no dice.

Replace it, for some more detail see post 36 in this thread

How many people have buggy stock recovery?

I went into stock recovery yesterday, after purchasing the phone to wipe cache.
I like to do this with all my new phones first.
When I pressed on wipe cache, it brought me to a menu that asked Mr what package to install, and was showing me my SD card.
I then tried to data factory reset, which from my experience with other phones acted as though it was wiping cache??
It seems the recovery has 1 to many install from SD card options, and is throwing the menu off.
Can anyone else confirm this?
From what I can see only an update would fix this.

Can confirm that selecting "wipe cache partition" shows SD content. Don't want to try the factory reset though.
Reflashed stock recovery twice, it seems broken by design

This issue has to be reported to Motorola.

My People! I have come for you!
Yes it is buggy, however totally operable!
"What? What did you say Ehsan? What knowledge do you have to bestow upon us, oh learned man of the great metropolis?"
Simple really. Whatever you want to select, just select the option above. Wipe cache is Wipe Data/Factory Reset, and Wipe Data/Factory Reset is Apply update via ADB.
So while I sit here and bask in the rays of my awesomeness, you should go and spread the word.
Excuse my overtly conceited bragging. I only got there coz of you lot anyway :angel:

So each option is just the line above ... seems okay. but what a mistake from MOTO'
